Sounds good in principle, but keep in mind that not everyone who uses open source software is capable of making changes to a complex piece of C code. I am a system administrator, not a programmer.

The difference between the two is mainly one of job description, and shouldn't be one of understanding how programs work or how to modify them. If you can't program in some language, you should learn how probably starting with shell, and moving towards perl or python and then to C. It will vastly improve your sys admin skills to be able to read and code.
