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!
gvim There is almost no pain if you stick with gvim (vim). The help is full of helpfull stuff, the mouse works, syntax and keyword aware....
gvim sounds interesting. Thanks! I tried to install it, but it's not in rpmforge. Is it in another yum repository?
You might also look at Eclipse.
First time I've heard of that one.
