But for the record, GG is no where CLOSE to FRENCH speaking Canada.

Anjuta is a very nice C++ IDE for gnome/gtk+ (been using it since v0.14), but if you like the KDE environment, you may prefer KDevelop (which I have also used for a few years). Neither of them look like Visual C++ for Linux, but they are both great IDEs, especially for free ones.
If you are looking to use it outside of editing and compiling TGE (like for designing Linux applications), neither of them have GUI/form designers last time I checked, but they can integrate with external GUI designers. Anjuta uses Glade (which is very useful), and KDevelop I think uses QTDesigner (or something). This leads to another discussion (by your question, I'm assuming you don't already know this)...
The QT toolkit is made with C++, with small modifications to the C++ language to handle callbacks with slots and signals, using the MOC (Meta Object Compiler). QT is a very powerful GUI toolkit, and KDE is a huge wrapper for it to make it even easier to program with. Qt/KDE has always felt a little "heavy" on my computer compared to Gtk+ though, and that's why I don't program with it. However, KDE programming philosophy seems very simple and easy to code, compared to writing MFC code.
The Gtk+ toolkit is made in C, using a weird approach to make C feel like it's an "OOP" language (I hate the wretched API, yet I love the Gtk+ look and feel so I use it for my application development). Gnome is a wrapper to Gtk+ which makes programming common interface tasks a little less work. Both Gnome and Gtk+ have bindings in various programming languages including C++ (altough I would not recommend C++). If you choose programming with Gtk+ in C or C++, expect to write a lot of code, even for what would seem to be the most trivial things in Visual C++. The Python bindings (pygtk) make it look a lot easier, if you don't mind using a scripting language.

Redhat, Mandrake, they are both RPM based distros, so it won't really matter in the long run (BTW, both those version numbers are old). Mandrake is a lot more newbie friendly though. I personally wouldn't recommend either, tough. I heard Ubuntu is very easy to use, and it's like the next new big distro out there these days. I use Gentoo at home and I love I once it was finally setup, but it takes a day just to install the bloody thing.Anjuta is a very nice C++ IDE for gnome/gtk+ (been using it since v0.14), but if you like the KDE environment, you may prefer KDevelop (which I have also used for a few years).

It's all relative - GG is certainly closer to French speaking Canada than, oh say... France!
Heh. =P
