[newbie] GUI-driven Complier/IDE for C/C++

[Technoslick]

I want to get back into learning to program in C/C++, but want to do so in Linux. I am a bit comfused about library and program conflicts, so I am asking anyone with experience in programming within Linux to recommend the best overall GUI-driven program(s) that would track well with SAMS books that are referring to M$ Visual C++ in the learning process. I think text-editor creation and command-line compiling for me is a "down the road" thing. I have looked through the 8.2 and 9.0 download distribution (3 CD set), but I am not sure of what I am looking for, or what libraries and supporting apps need to be loaded to get a complete, working programming environment.

TIA,

T
