How is a linux distro actually made?

Q. I'm trying to make a custom distro with LFS (linux from scratch) and I was just wonder, if I was completely serious about developing my own distro to distribute, how would I do it?
I realize that they use C/C++ but I was wondering do they compile it like LFS or do they (IE Ubuntu) make it completely from scratch somehow?

A. c program language as the main

then python for the rest

How can I build a Linux Distro?
Q. I have downloaded the latest stable kernel. How can I make a linux distro from scratch? What do I need?

A. Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.

Alternatively, you can easily customize your own Slax linux live right from your browser. If you are new to Linux you probably want to start with something like that.

I'm making the sqitch to Ubunto, but don't know where to start?
Q. I like the idea of linux security over Windows, so I'm finally making the switch. I know how to download and install it, my only problem is I can't find a beginners guide or a how-to on learning Linux from scratch. Mostly what I can find are how-to's on altering windows based applications to work in Linux, but nothing on a basic starter's guide..

Anyone have any good resources?
