This is a serious question, and one which - IMO - deserves a lot of
thought and discussion. Starting with: "Does Linux promotion look like
a beer commercial for guys?"
Where I am, it tends not to - but there's also not a lot of it aside
from individuals talking to individuals.
That's where we start getting guy-ish, actually - I used to help run
a non-profit ISP, and at our meetings we were primarily male. Women
in general were wives/partners - and were astounded at a female member
of the committee. So I made a point of spending time talking to them -
though I'd have developed my own sysadmin skills better had I been
chatting with the guys. Le sigh. The decisions we have to make!
But I've noticed this in general - computer communities /tend/ to be
male-dominated, and communities of females brought together for other
reasons tend not to be willing to talk computers...
I think I might have detoured myself - or this might be part of the
problem. Hm.

Go ahead. It's /your/ bit of cyberspace. Mine has what I like. Albiet
not /all/ of it...
