Anything but those two. hi Erik, I'm glad you asked this question...I've always felt like a sub-par Linux user because I could not program. I've also noticed that a lot of programs I've run across in my limited experience with Linux are written in C. therefore, learning C could only help my understanding of my computer. also, I've noticed that at my local school most of the computer science majors use C, so I figure that if I learn C, I can at least understand that course material on some level.
