Unfortunately for most newbies........Linux  evolved from a developers
perspective
not a users perspective....
I never knew 'C' when I started either........But I like it and I cut code now
and then...
Oh and BTW ...most references I have read do assume knowledge of  'C'
after all ..... it started as a 'hackers OS'...... and was never intended as a
'commercial' package....

just my $0.02
