What does "distinct hands" mean?

I'm solving some Math sums. There's a question which is about a deck of playing cards. It requires me to calculate the number of distinct hands possible. What does this phrase mean?

A "hand" is the set of cards dealt to an individual player. The number of cards depends on the game. This should be specified in the question.

Assume 4 people are playing a card game. At the start, each player receives eg six cards. These six are called 'his/her hand'.
