Hi I just installed fedora 14. And now i need to start programming in C++. Should I download G++ 4.5 if so ?? how can i do that ?? Any idea would be appreciated

If you have a software installation manager, look for and install GCC, which stands for Gnu Compiler Collection. It will include g++ and other things.
