Hi
I've only just started using MX-15 and like it a lot. I like it so much that i have made it the default OS on my machine.
Anyway, I have tried to install"codeblocks" in order to learn C++ via Synaptic Package Manager and failed. Could someone help me out here please. Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear you like MX-15!

Just looked and codeblocks not in the Jessie repos. It is in the Jessie Backports repo, however, so you can add that repo in Synaptic (see the Users Manual if unsure how to do that):

Still can't add backports though. Must be doing something wrong. Settings => Repositories?
