Yes, in my opinion, "Linux Widow's Guide" is sexist. Also, it's
unnecessarily narrow. Besides widows and widowers, what about new
divorcées, or families whose in-house tech-support's reserve unit got
called up for a free trip to Afghanistan. How about "Caring for your
Linux system", possibly followed by "(when your tech-support person is
gone)"?
I'm actively not looking for projects right now. Check back with me in
six months and we'll see.
