Summary: Can non-hacking new unix users make fruitful use of MINIX?

I'm a newcomer to UNIX, and I am not terribly knowledgeable about things like
C, though I do know some assembly language, and a fair amount about the hard-
ware inside a PC.  Will I be able to make efficient use of MINIX?  Let's put
it this way:  will I have to play a great deal with the programs I install in
order to get them to work?  Or will I be able to avoid this if I want, pick-
ing up how to do it as I become more sophisticated?
