Val Henderson's excellent HowTo may suggest some other ways that may 
help us do something about the gender imbalance, too:

Yes, isn't it just?!  Like you, I'm sort of surprised, though I can't 
put my finger on why.  I suppose I expected more bright young things - 
students, possibly - and fewer people like me!  But it seems the 
distribution is slightly skewed towards the 'higher' end, with a 
surprising lot of us over-fifties:  a silver fox GNU/Linux underground! 
  Kewl!
