Debian-mentors isn't the right list for this either.
Are you *sure* you want to learn C? Why not take Eric Raymond's
advice at <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html> and
learn Python? It's an easier language, the newsgroup
"comp.lang.python" isn't very busy, and it's useful on Mac on Win32
*spit* too.
To get started, install all of the packages starting with "python-" in
Debian, and Emacs or XEmacs with the Python mode.
