Could anyone point me in the direction of some good tutorials on how to program in C++ under Linux.

I have not much experience with Linux coding, but I''ll comment anyway.

What is it you''re looking for? C++ is the same on any platform, and that includes the standard libraries. The compiler of choice is, of course, GNU/gcc. That should be enough to start off, and there is no better way to learn than to study source code.

If what you want to know is GUI programming, you should first realize that the GUI is not a part of the kernel in *nix systems (as in Windows (not exactly true, but hey)). Graphical apps use a desktop environment, such as GNOME or KDE. They have developer information and documentation at their web sites.

And at last, feeding Google with something like "linux tutorial c++" will surely turn up some guiding.

Good luck.
