Remastering involves customizing an existing Ubuntu installation to create a new distribution with specific packages and configurations. It began with Knoppix and allows creating versions tailored for different uses like office, gaming, or development. The process requires squashfs and other tools to customize aspects like wallpapers, themes, and packages then build a new live CD or DVD image. Examples are provided of remastered Ubuntu distributions for different fields.
