All,
I know that Cisco provides the following:
ED - early deployment
GD - general deployment
LD - Limited deployment
Can anyone tell me what the stages are?
Is ED released first, then turned into LD and finally GD?
The reason that I ask is that I need to update our stack, but management is saying that they only want a GD release. Understood, but the download area for the 3750G only has EDs available for download.
Thanks,
John

Scratch that. I found this:
I guess it's only ED from here on out.
I wish I could rate myself =)

Have a look at this link which explains the meanings -

You need a Cisco login to view.
As of 12.4 GD's are no longer being released. Not sure about the 3750 train but you'll be lucky to find a GD.

Besides lost of LD/GD, what Cisco is doing with "mainline" code is now different too.
Mainline code, was feature frozen with the first release (initially a LD release), all the later releases were fixes (first later release considered really stable was GD). With 12.4 "mainline", new software and/or hardware features may be inserted into later releases (much like what was done with "T" trains). (This is also why you see so many letter suffix 12.4 releases; they should be just fixes.)
