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". -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
