Yes, the person who has given the answer just before me is completely right. U can do C-programming in under both operating systems - Windows & Linux.
If u're using Windows, then u've to install 'Turbo C++ IDE' (it's an external compiler) in ur system. It'll compile ur C / C++ programmings u've written.
But if u're using Linux, then u don't have to worry about loading these external compilers, coz Unix provides in-built gcc-compilers that helps to run & execute C / C++ programs. Here u've to use 'vi' command to open a C-file & write programs in that file.
I've both WindowsXP & Linux RedHat 9.0 in my system. So, I get the opportunity to work in both environments.
U're in a misconception - how can C-shell be a part of C-programming ? As soon as u log in, a program called the 'shell' starts to run at ur terminal & keeps on running until u terminate the session. U know, 'shell' acts as the command-interpreter. Unix offers a variety of shells - Bourne shell, Korn shell, C shell etc. C-shell has path : /bin/csh.

You could be asking about two completely different things.
1) The C language. C is a high level programming language that every professional needs to know. You need a C compiler and linker in order to program in C. You can download gcc for your OS (Unix, Windows, whatever) for free.
2) csh. csh is a shell, and as such has a scripting language. It is very similar to bsh (Bourne shell) and ksh (Korn shell). I order to get a command prompt in Unix, you open a shell. You can then type commands using the shell scripting language. You can write scripts and save them and run them too. The various shells are usually preinstalled on Unix systems.
If you are on Windows, I know ksh has been ported to Windows and you can buy it to use as your command prompt and scripting language. I think it sold by MKS systems. I'm not sure about csh. I've never used it on Windows.
