hi,
first of, i does not matter if u are a boy / girl if u want a job in it industry ( atleast knowledge-wise or qualification-wise ).

What is ur qualification ? ( MCA, B.tech, B.E... etc..)

second.
u say u worked on linux for a year and half. And by Information Security what do u mean ( plz b a little more specific ). There is a lot of scope for Linux Engineers and Information Security Professionals. U can go back to Linux and Security, but now-a-days industry wants a certified Linux Engineer ( RHCE certification, is required ),

But since u say u hav experience, u hav a chance.

If u have a software background..u can go for company that deals with Open-Source Services.

But i am concerned abt the gap..mayb u need to start preparing for RHCE, but no worries whatsoever...so relax and think with a clam brain
