[ubuntu-us-mi] Question from a Newbie

[Jeremy]

Hello,

I am new to Ubuntu so please go easy on me.  I am wanting to setup a 
development system using Ubuntu, but I'm not really sure where to 
start.  I have used Eclipse for C++ work.  I was hoping that I could get 
pointed in the right direction on how to set things up regarding how to 
setup a fully functioning Ubuntu C++ development box.

Thanks in advance for any and all help,

Jeremy
