Please enjoy my excellent book for Linux power users and sysadmins, the Linux Cookbook. Yes, there is another Linux Cookbook, by Michael Stutz, and it is also an excellent book. Buy both, you won't be sorry. You may also find my occasional O'Reilly Network article amusing, and possibly useful.
You may also wish to peruse my weekly Linux howtos on Enterprise Networking Planet. Or my nice Asterisk and VoIP articles on VoIP Planet.com
Women computer geeks of all persuasions, from beginners to gurus, are invited to visit Linuxchix.org. It's a worldwide friendly community devoted to supporting women in computing. There are local chapters all over the place, and be sure to check out the mailing lists.
