NOTICE
1、The Alpha release is not stable now, it can only used for test purpose only.
Deepin 2014 is still in Alpha release, and it is for the community users that are familiar with Linux only. This release contains some known issues and functions that are not implemented. It is not supposed to use it on production environment or as the daily used system. For those issues on implemented features and interactive, you are always welcomed to post your ideas on  Forum, or take a comment on @@Deepin Twitter.


2、DO NOT install and test on VMs.
As used Compiz, a compositing window manager to provide 3D animation and Gaussian Blur effects on windows which performance is poor on VMs, It is highly recommended not to install and test Deepin 2014 on VMs. The preferred way of installation and testing is to setup it on physical machine via multiboot mechanism, or to open DeepWin.exe on Windows system. We have scheduled to solve this issue by using our own Window Manger on a planned future release.

=====================================================================

注意事项
1：Alpha版本仍然是初期版本，仍不完善，仅供体验。
目前发布的Deepin 2014为Alpha版本，仅提供给熟练的Linux社区用户进行测试。Alpha版本尚有很多已知问题和尚未完善的各项功能，不建议用于生产环境和日常的主力系统。对于已经实现的各项功能，以及在使用过程中的交互问题，非常欢迎各位测试者到Deepin官方的论坛发表建议，或者与我们官方微博帐号 @Deepin官方微博和官方Twitter帐号 @Deepin 进行互动。

2：请不要在虚拟机中安装进行使用和评测。
Deepin 2014使用了Compiz作为混合窗口管理器，用于提供窗口的3D动画和高斯模糊等效果。由于Compiz在虚拟机下性能不佳，因此在虚拟机中安装Deepin 2014，桌面运行将非常缓慢。 强烈建议各位在真实主机上进行多启动安装，或者在Windows环境下，使用ISO中自带的deepwin.exe (传统的wubi模式）进行双系统共存安装，这两种安装模式才能真正体验到Deepin 2014的华丽效果。我们计划在未来的版本中，使用自己的窗口管理器代替Compiz，从而彻底解决这个问题。
