Excellent resource to refresh your c++

I was trying to find a a resource to get a quick refresh of my old and rusted c++ skills and my senior told me about www.cplusplus.com . Its a very nice website with eloquent explanation of all basic concepts in a very coherent manner. Its also very useful for newbies who are trying to self-learn c++. You would have to register with the site to make use of its features. The tutorials are under the "Documentation" section.

Rookie's Journey Through Linux

Its almost after 5 years that I am coming back to Linux, so I find myself only as good a rookie. 5 years ago it was for my c/c++ undergrad courses that I had to use linux. And a few months back, I had a short stint with the RedHat Linux for Cadence Virtuoso. But as I said, it was only a short stint. :)

  I thought I would document my step by step evolution and experiments with Linux and other softwares that I may use with it. To be frank, I am no expert and I would request readers to point out any mistakes or misconceptions that may creep in!

 I got Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) distro on  VMware Player 4.0.4. I would suggest using VMware Player only if you have sufficient RAM on your PC. I assigned 4GB RAM for the virtual machine but I guess 2 GB is also good enough. Anything less than that may be give you less than desired performance.
