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?

What are the requirements to use Linux From Scratch?
Q. Do I need a linux os to run it?
Is there any third party software I need?
Is LFS a programming language?

What can I do to get the code if I were to base it off of Ubuntu?

A. To get started, all you need is a lot of free time. Go to linuxfromscratch.org and start reading the book and follow the instructions. The prerequisites are listed in there. It will also point to the downloads you need. LFS is not a programming language, it is just the book which lists how to install Linux entirely from sources.

Is there a way to hook up an old hard drive to my laptop?
Q. I'm going to start on a Linux from Scratch and I need to hook up an old 40 GB HDD that was in an old computer that I had a long time ago. I was wondering if there was anyway that I could hook it up through USB to my laptop. There's a whole lot of writing on the disk, so if you need any of it to figure it out, then I will add extended details.

A. Get a USB adapter or a HD caddy.
