I recommend using (g)vim, bash, make, gcc, gdb. This is my preferred setup. Actually, I don't really use gdb directly, but I used DDD as a GUI front-end to it. I haven't done any C/C++ projects in a while so I haven't actually used anything, but I will probably use GVD (GNU Visual Debugger) for the next one because it has a nice GTK+ interface (DDD uses Motif which I don't really like, other than that it is a nice tool). One major difference between *nix systems and others is that the entire OS is your IDE. You have great tools like diff, grep, find, etc, available to work with the source tree. There are tons of different editors available, gvim happens to be my favorite (includes systax highlighting, auto-indenting, and auto jumping to errors if you run make/gcc from within it). I then run my programs from bash, rather than using a "run" button in some other IDE. Try searching on gnome.org or kde.org or on Google for Linux IDEs and you'll see that there are a large variety, though most only support certain languages and are relatively new. Try several of them out and see what combination you like best. -D
