Make sure to read the following thread.
http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19299
Whether or not you learn C++ in a Linux or Windows environment is going to affect what software you need.
No matter what, you are going to need two things. A C++ compiler and a text editor.
There are a couple C++ compilers available to Windows users and a couple available for Linux. If you are going to be learning in Linux, you probably already have one installed. g++ (part of gcc) is hard to not have on a Linux box. On a Windows machine you can use Visual Studio, you can use Borland's C++ compiler, or can use g++ through CYGWIN.
As far as editor's are concerned, don't stress yourself out with a big behemoth development environment. If you use Visual Studio, you will be forced to use one. If you want a really cool editor that I highly recommend for all Windows programming it is called TextPad, search google for it and download it. Syntax highlighting, lots of very useful programming features.
Personally, I recommend getting yourself a good book. I know I mentioned it in the thread linked above, but it is the best thing you can do for yourself.

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

C++ and C# share common syntactic styles, C# is also very similar to Java in the way it allows a programmer to handle and manipulate objects and arrays. C# is not platform independent or environment neutral in that it is part of MS's .NET framework. Personally, I'd stay away from C#, but it does have some uses to those in bed with MS.
As always, FSGS does a nice job too:

C# is also great because it uses Direct X managed to make graphical programing much easier. And between C# and Java, I highly recommend C#, because Java is extremely slow, uses more system memory, and isnt easy to compile into native code.

Most would call C++ a superset of C. Most C programmers do not consider C++ an "upgrade," ask them and you could probably make a fortune if you put the responses in a book.

Since each fortune starts with a penny, here's the start:
"C++ is a well written C program"
What, me worry?

Erm, is this supposed to be on what c++ software to use? I recommend Bloodshed Dev-C++, i use it for all my programs. U can get it at http://bloodshed.net/devcpp.html. Btw itz free
