hi i'm looking for a free c++ ide which i can use on ubuntu. all i'm doing with c++ right now is simple win32 console apps. is it even possible to develop these in a linux environment?

Console apps should work in windows and linux as long as they don't use any os specific headers.

You can always compile them from the linux command line, but if you are looking for an IDE, I hear a lot of people praise Anjuta. You can get it from synaptic. I've tried it, but I can't really tell you if it's good or not because I'm more of a text editor guy (no IDE's are worth it to me... Just my opinion) But a lot of people who do use IDE's will probably suggest that one to you.

Mirrorball uses the C++ plugin with eclipse. A post by him inspired me to try it, and now I like it better than anything else I've tried. I happen to be a fan of eclipse in general though.
