For beginner level stuff, I personally liked "C++ for Linux in 21 Days" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672318954/qid=1081997417/sr= 1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-1388169-2092062?v=glance&s=books). It really helped me get the hang of the gcc compiler, and break some nasty habits I had picked up with Visual Studio 6. I am also very interested to see if anyone has better advanced books that they used.
