Linux in a Nutshell: A superb bible for looking up Linux commands and options. http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596154493


Installing Development related packages on Ubuntu:
http://software.jessies.org/salma-hayek/ubuntu-setup.html

You can add repositories to download packages by editing this file:
vim /etc/apt/sources.list

For Eclipse C++ CDT installation please refer to this blog post.

Script:
A very useful command to record your command-line session actions for later use and replay later:
        script -a -f -t  2> timingfile  mydemo.log     #append, flush-writes, timestamp)

       scriptreplay timingfile mydemo.log    #replays with timing as per timestamps captured above
For further info see:

     man script
     man scriptreplay
