Ok, I'm starting my C++ class in college.

My professor recommended that I use "GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection", instead of MSVS. I have no idea to go about installing this... can anyone help me?

Also, is this a "compiler", like Borland or MSVS C++ Compiler, or what? I unpackaged the gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2 and I have a ton of files.
