Source Code

[cstep]

I hope that I am in the proper forum. If not please redirect me.
First I am a hardware person not a programmer. What I want to do is to view the source code in Ubuntu or for that matter any Open source program. Maybe try and modify it a little and then put it back together to so see if it runs.

Curiosity and the need to find out how things work has gotten the best of me. I can do it with a piece of hardware I would like to have the ability to do the same with the software.

Thanks for the info in advance.
