Don't care to speak to CS in general. However, I just recruited a 20 year old CS major to intern with us here. I was successful largely because she knew me from a martial arts class. Because she knew me, and because she had spent the last semester interning at a large company that had her putting here CS training to good use with a partially functional paper punch, she accepted my assurance that I would see to it that she got some hands on training if she came with us. So for SysAdmins, I
would say that the place to find women for sysadmin positions is amongst women you know. As long as the guidance counselors are
stuck on Home Ec classes you just have to root around and find women that have some problem solving ability, and train them.
