True, live-gnu-linux.hands.com would even be better.
Or are there any other suggestions?

Background of the current naming is that
        * Klaus gave us permission to use Knoppix as part of the name.
        * The artwork everywhere says knoppix, so adding "freie software"
        was the smaller change (and less work).
        * I am unsure how much we should credit Klaus by using knoppix.
        It is sure that we should credit him as Knoppix has a long
        tradition and much work goes into it to make it a premier
        useful live-cd.
        * Intevation needed the CDs fast.

Would it be fine to rename the files without changing the artwork
and all the texts?

We could also rename it to
        live-gnu-linux-knoppix-3.7-fs20050124beta-*
or
        live-gnu-linux-fsknoppix-3.7-20050124beta-*

        pppppppppppppp-vvvvvvvvv-xxx-yyyyyyyy-

p= overall project = Live GNU/Linux CD
v= variant = Freie Software Knoppix
x= knoppix base revision
y= revision of the liberation
