After meeting a certain set of circumstances such as open bugs, time in field, etc..., the releases can move to a GD status. GD generally means that they are considered to be more stable releases. The trade off between only running GD releases is that you do not get the newest features in a timely manner as you have to wait for the status to change.</P><P></P><P>Does this help?</P><P></P><P>Scott</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Dec 2004 18:10:46 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/what-means-ed-and-gd-on-binaries-version-of-pix-os/m-p/387219#M553780 scoclayton 2004-12-15T18:10:46Z Re: What means ED and GD on binaries version of PIX OS? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/what-means-ed-and-gd-on-binaries-version-of-pix-os/m-p/387220#M553781 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Scott,</P><P></P><P>Thanks a lot for the explanation.</P><P></P><P>Edy.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 17:49:57 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/what-means-ed-and-gd-on-binaries-version-of-pix-os/m-p/387220#M553781 edy-rojas 2004-12-17T17:49:57Z
