I downloaded the .pdf version of "Thinking in C++" and I've begun to read that and I did yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' I'm a Newbie Desktop user, jumping into the deep end of the pool. Should I try to learn vi (Vim) (which obviously will help me, if I ever need to administer a remote box) or install Emacs or something else, for the gcc editor? An easy learning curve is strongly preferred, but, I am 100% aware of the advantages of vi. Recommendations? TIA!

I suggest to install Eclipse and CDT plugin and you get a full IDE http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
I will look at Eclipse, but one of my goals is to be able to fix problems on a remote box and that will probably require vi.
Then you shouldn't go wrong, because I have yet to be on a linux box or a bsd box that didn't have some form or emulation of vi installed.
