Bo is a code name for the Debian 1.3 release. Hamm is a code name for
the Debian 2.0 release, currently in development.
Some time ago, Debian ran into a problem when a not-quite-ready
development version of the distribution was downloaded and sold on CD.
It was seen that one reason for this was that someone looking at the
FTP site, seeing a directory with a numbered version would think that
that version was ready for release. A policy decision was made to name
releases while in development, and only number them when released.
The current naming schema we are using is the names of characters from
the Pixar computer animated feature film "Toy Story".
