As the title says, I need to learn C++, well basically being with it again, any suggestions on information available on the web?

Platform will be Gcc 3.0 on a linux box. Are there any good tutorials avail for free, or will I have to spend some cashola on a book?

Well, here's a quick tutorial in ansi (or ansu) C++:

When you start your program to a blank file, here are teh basic parts of a typical C++ program

Headers
Function declarations
body
functions

We are going to skip function stuff for now and stick to the headers and the body:

here is a basic piece of C++ code that does very little of nothing:

[code]
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{

cout << "OscarWilde is a Silly Goose of a Poopy Head" << endl;

return;
}
[/code]

This may be merely a decent tutorial, but it is ALL anyone needs to know about life.

If I were you I'd try to find a decent book. They tend to help me more than just goofing with examples. (That will work for something like VB, but for C++ you need a little structured learning ;) )
A Deitel & Deitel book would probly be good, but beyond them (and there are many, many more, heh) I don't know who to suggest. Just BE SURE you do NOT get an MFC programming book. They blow goat ass. All of them.

I think Hitscan is right

(say, aren't you the_Hitman's brother?)

Find a cheap book, or else search google for a couple tutorials.

Mine wound is deep AYB, verily hath I been damaged by thy remark. Woe, woe is me!

No, actually, I am not related to Mr. "Basking in the warm glow of a Unix Terminal" man. People have mistakenly read his name as mine own no less than twice. It irks me highly.

A side note: Riemer! Enabling HTML on the board would be simply supar. I had some big plans for my slighted line. Sadly, they were dashed by ikonboards size=7 limit.
We surely wouldn't abuse the privilege, surely ;)
