yo I am new to linux. I used mandrake a little when I was in college. I want to practice writing code in ubuntu. I have 7.10 and I just recently installed it. I have installed and added some programs but I still can't figure out what programs I used to actually write code. Like I am trying to review C/C++ and learn Java. The only thing I seem to keep finding, is a program that will run python. Or will let me code in python. Can anybody help me out here?

For c/c++ any text editor will do coupled with gcc for your compiler. As for java, you'll have to install the JDK from Sun and then your IDE of choice, whether it be Netbeans, Ecplise, or just a text editor.
 
For simple stuff it's easiest to probably just use a text editor. Everyone has their favourite (vi, emacs, nano, gedit).

I'd suggest gedit first as it's basic, and does simple code highlighting. Then just use gcc to compile.
 
tfinsch2's got it-- the package name for the GNU compiler collection for Debian distros (including Ubuntu) is build-essential. It includes the C/C++ compilers.
