c++ with linux

Like Saqib said, use g++ (note the 2 plus signs after the letter g) to
compile a c++ program. You invoke g++ as

g++ filename.cpp

where filename.cpp is the name of your file with your code. If you
don't give g++ the -o flag, it will by default place the compiled
binary in your current directory with the name a.out. You could then
run that program by typing:

./a.out

. If you want to have your program binary be called something other
then a.out, invoke g++ like:

g++ -o filename.bin filename.cpp

. This will compile filename.cpp, and call the resulting executable
filename.bin.

I do all of my c++ programming on my GNU/Linux boxes, so if you've got
more questions, and would like to take this off list, feel free to
drop me a line privately.
