dont download gcc - theres no need, suse will do it all for you.





To become superuser type su in a terminal window and then type in the superuser (administrator) password.





At the hash prompt (#) type yast2 sw_single to start the package manager , the simply install C/C++ development from the menu.





PS opensuse is not a good choice if you are a total beginner,


try kubuntu or PCLinuxOS instead. Having said that opensuse has the best support for wireless..





Good Luck!
