   I believe yes, a c compiler is part of the unix specification. But linux by   
   itself isnt unix, its unix when you add on a lot of gnu tools. There are   
   plenty of good use cases for an operating system with out a compiler, often   
   in the realm of limitation. Personally I like BSD systems due to them being   
   complete unixes maintained and released as one piece(typing this post from   
   FreeBSD).    
      
   Best way to learn and understand your tool set? In my opinion, dont open   
   google, dont read an orielly book, stick to man or info and provided   
   handbooks- for everything. Sorta forces your brain to understand the   
   information in the provided context.
