No stupid questions, just information requests 8-)
Anyhow, to answer your question, "hamm" is a project name for the _next_ stable
release of Debian. The current stable release is "bo". Debian provides 2 kinds
of releases (distributions), stable and unstable. The stable release is the
older, "least-amount-of-bugs", distribution (as the catagory implies). The
unstable release is the "cutting-edge", developmental, distribution. When you
install an "unstable" distribution, you can expect problems, crashes,
installation variations, afterall, it is "unstable"! OTOH, the stable release
should install with the least number of problems. Once installed correctly, it
should not crash - because it is "stable". "hamm" is currently "unstable".
