Nothing to be ashamed! I'm a newcomer, too.

The name "rex" does not mean "Rexx". Rexx is in fact a script language,
which is found in nearly every IBM operating system from OS/2 over OS/400
to VM/MVS. The name "rex" is the "code name" for the Debian GNU/Linux
Version 1.2.x. While "bo" is Version 1.3.x, and "hamm" is 2.?? (2.0.x or
2.1.x - I don't know how they will name it).

The code name are easier to remember and to pronouce than the version
numbers. I think this was all about it.
