Hi it depends what direction you're heading. if you want to join MIS or IT departments then, there are issues that are much more important then C. you should learn a lot(!!!) about networking, routers, firewalls etc... . also, you should know at least perl and bash (or tcsh). knowing C could be a great help, but I'm a unix administrator and I've never written a single line in C (except "hello world" :-)). another important thing is that I never met a "Linux" system administrator. you should learn a lot about other unix based OS's as well. most important are IRIX (in my opinion, the best) Solaris, FreeBSD etc...
