Remastersys hasn't been updated since 2009, so a wonderful guy, named Joel Leclerc, has given a new life to the old project, and create <a href="http://lkubuntu.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/relinux-a-way-to-create-a-bootable-iso-out-of-your-system/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Re-Linux</strong></em></a>. Now Re-Linux may not be 100% new to some of you, and you might be yawning and wondering what rock I've been living under.* Either way, I thought I'd tip you (reading this) off about Re-Linux and what you can do with it.

First of all, it doesn't have a GUI (yet), so you won't be creating the next Linux Mint in two minutes if you're not command line savvy. That said, it already has some features Remastersys did not (not that Remastersys wasn't good at what it did), such as the option to customize the splash screen. Development is not stalled, and should not stall any time soon ;)! This means you should be able to continue using Re-Linux for your re-mastering projects going forward. One of the other great things is that you should be able to report tickets (and have them dealt with in good timing).

I'm pretty sure as well that Joel would appreciate your assistance, if you know your way around the code :).
