well if you have linux installed then you already have the best, the GNU Compiler,
gcc...try this...
% gcc -v
thatll show you the version of your compiler... you can check out the GCC homepage at
http://gcc.gnu.org/
alone this is just a command line compiler... if you are looking for an IDE i would recommend
KDevelop... but you cant beat kwrite and a term window in my book!
a quick start to gcc with c++ programs would be..
% g++ YOUR_SOURCE_FILE -Wall -o runMe
a binary will be made(hopefully!) in the current directory called runMe...
