Hey perhaps we're doing something wrong here ?.
Hamm, bo, rex are codenames.
These are persistent names that will not change during their life,
while stable, frozen, unstable, Debian-1.2, Debian-1.3 and Debian-2.0
are not persistent and are created and changed according to the stage
(maturity) of the development.
Actually stable points to bo and unstable to hamm. Later will be
created frozen pointing to hamm, and a new codeneme will appear as
unstable. After the release time, stable will point to hamm as well
as Debian-2.0 and there will be a new unstable to work on.
Therefore we currently use codenames to uniquely identify one particular
hierarchy in the ftp site.
I haven't cheched, but I think this {is,should be} explained in the
README which is displayed when you log on the debian directory in the
ftp site.

Please enlighten me as to the meaning of hamm ?
Well, you are using debian-1.3.x, codenamed bo.
We (the developpers) are working on debian-2.0 (not released yet),
and we haven't quite finished with that yet. So, we call
it unstable. But the codename for debian-2.0 will be hamm.
These names are characters from a movie I haven't seen,
but the graphics in the movie were generated in the Pixar
Studio's. As it happens, our director, Burce, works for Pixar.
That's how we got the codenames.

Every project I have ever worked on had some kind of cute code name (Debian code names come from the movie Toy Story) for internal identification.
