I'm a newcomer, too. > does rex = rexx (script language found in OS/2 amongst others) > What are hamm and bo? 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.
