In case you have been looking for a good C++ IDE for Linux, I have a very good suggestion:

Geany

Here is the description of Geany from its official website (http://www.geany.org/):

Geany is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. It supports many filetypes and has some nice features.

Some basic features of Geany:

* Syntax highlighting
* Code folding
* Symbol name auto-completion
* Construct completion/snippets
* Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
* Call tips
* Many supported filetypes including C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal (full list)
* Symbol lists
* Code navigation
* Build system to compile and execute your code
* Simple project management
* Plugin interface (see Plugins)

To install Geany in Ubuntu just issue the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install geany

Geany also works under Windows and the Windows binaries can be downloaded from the Geany webiste as well.
