Yes.
Distributions are called bo, hamm, slink, potato, woody.
States are called stable, unstable, frozen, experimental.
Ignore experimental, it is for stuff like SPARC last year, new
architectures, etc.
Links exist from the "nice" states, to the canonical "dists", eg
ln -s slink stable
ln -s potato frozen
ln -s unstable woody
Soon, real soon,
rm stable
rm frozen
ln -s potato stable
Some months from now,
cp -pr woody new_name
rm unstable
ln -s frozen woody
ln -s unstable new_name
So, potato is available, and has been for some time. But it is not Debian
2.2 until it transits to stable. You can download and cut potato CDs, not
2.2 CDs, yet.

I don't think so. Samba emulates NT, not 9x.
