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.

Hehe, I like the name "Hamm". I finally watched (part of) Toy Story on TV (CBC) a few days ago. Although I missed the first half, I love it! Hamm is the cute little toy piggy, and it is the code name for the upcoming release of Debian 2.0. ^_^ -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling[EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineeringhttp://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, CanadaKeep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Isn't the answer in the FAQ?

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. While this will probably continue to be "confusing" to some users, I don't think this constitutes "something wrong here". The reason this creates "regular" questions is that these are not the names that are publicly assigned to these different releases.
