If you are using Ubuntu - Consider switching to Debian. This is NOT for Ubuntu. Debian. In the past, Ubuntu packages, dependency information and such was available. Thanks to a few choice words by some Ubuntu users, that changed on July 25, 2017! Thank you.

There is a gui available. I will post this soon. Using the gui, you can change the boot screen.
There is an Ubuntu developer on this project. His name is Chamuco.
So, if you need support or have suggestions, his project is on launchpad along with all accompanying files.
Now, I'm focusing on Trisquel because a privacy lab at an Ivy league was asking about respin... and I'm all over that! Sorry Ubuntu users... you are on your own.
That being said, I think Ubuntu has some backup tools you could use. Maybe something GUI based.
The problem here is I actually had some Ubuntu users demanding I make a server edition and make features for them.
Uh... yea.
And the reason remastersys was abandoned and we picked up the project was because the dev was tired of being barraged by users like this requesting features.
It's open. Make some!
The Ubuntu "community" has not even contributed one single line of code, not one single ";" to the Ubuntu version.
However, for the Debian version, someone wrote a front end, people did testing, they contributed ideas and code for opitmization.
The thing is ... Ubuntu is NOT a community distro. It's a business. You may as well use Winblows.
Remember, if you are creating a distro for public use, to use your own trademarked icons for the menu, etc. You can change these easily by researching the process for your particular base. You can change the plymouth theme also.
Maintaining a distro is important. Remember to build a community around your distro if that is what you want. Customizing and creating distro can be fun and challenging. Also, this is a great way to learn more about distros and GNU Linux!
