RemasterSys [...] is a free and open source program for Debian, Ubuntu[...], Linux Mint, [and derivative distros].

[It] can:

• Create a customized Live CD/Live USB (a remaster) of Debian and its derivatives.
• Back up an entire system, including user data, to an installable Live CD/DVD.

The last stable release of RemasterSys was in 2012.

The people of [the] Pinguy OS distribution forked this great project [and are calling] it "PinguyBuilder". [They have] made it available again for Ubuntu and its derivatives.

At his forum, pinguy continues [pinguyos.com]

Notable Changes:

• Single package for Script and GUI.
• Full EFI support including EFI system partition.
• Populate pool folder with grub-efi for offline installing.
• Update grub entry with the named used for the CD label.
• Uses XZ to compress the filesystem.squashfs for smaller ISO size.

Version 3.* works with *buntu systems 14.04 (should also work with 14.10, if not try 4.*)
Version 4.* works with *buntu systems 15.04+ (at the moment 15.10 has a dependency issue xresprobe [launchpad.net])
