If you can do one you kind of half speak the other. More Linux stuff is in C
than C++ although several of the big apps like Openoffice are in C++ as is KDE
on the whole of course.

Aside from any books, pick up twiddle with and break exisitng apps you are
interested in. Reading other people's code is far too often under-rated as a 
learning technique.
