I was in this boat about 4 years ago. The very best thing I did was pick up "Job Hunting Online for Dummies".
This book was directly responsible for getting me a half-dozen interviews, one of which landed me in my current position. It's not Linux development per se, but I develop ON Linux, and the company plans to switch from Solaris to Linux during 2004.
Three big things from the book: NEVER post your resume on line (Monster and co. are specifically mentioned as a problem), there are THREE types of recruiters (legit recruiters have no problem telling you what company is hiring), and you'll need THREE resumes for effective job hunting.
This book has great advice, and explains the realities of job searching in these modern times.
