Notes
Deepin 2014 Beta is a development release. It is strongly recommended that you do not use or review it on a virtual machine.

The current development release of Deepin 2014 is known to have issues, and many features need improvement. Therefore it is advised that you not use it for a productive environment or as your main operating system for daily use.

Deepin 2014 utilizes Compiz for composite effects, which is infamous for its poor performance on virtual machines. You may wish to install Deepin on your hard disk or try it with a DeepinWin installer (an equivalent of Ubuntu’s Wubi utility). The two options mentioned are tested and are considered as the preferable choice to experience Deepin’s real elegance.

To solve the performance issue with virtual machines, we have planned to write a new window manager and replace Compiz for future releases.



Overview
As you may already know, the “Linux Deepin” project is now known as the “Deepin” project.

Deepin is a distribution that aims to provide an elegant, user-friendly, and stable operating system. The Deepin team has developed the new Deepin Desktop Environment based on HTML 5 technologies. The Deepin operating system has also shipped many other featured applications, including Deepin Music Player, DPlayer, Deepin Software Center etc.

Deepin has seen rapid growth in recent years and is used by users from more than 40 countries/regions. Deepin’s installation images has been downloaded tens of millions of times from the main mirror and ranks first among all Chinese distros onDistroWatch.

Compared with the previous Alpha release, Deepin 2014 Beta has the following updates and changes:

Deepin Desktop Environment 2.0
Since Deepin 2014 Alpha was released, we have received warm feedback and suggestions from all around the world. Many tweaks and improvements have been made accordingly.
In this release, we have simplified user selection in the login manager and added effects for the Dock and the Launcher.

Besides, the theme features in light tactile impression in Deepin2014 Beta. System trays are added in the Dock, which have made the system more elegant and improved the operating efficiency.



Deepin Control Center
The beta release has shipped with a more mature and stable Deepin Control Center.
Many features are implemented, including broadband connection, VPN connection, hidden network connection, fixed IP and Bluetooth. The module for sound control is more stable.

Features for wireless hotspots and 3G network is still being tested, and will be pushed as updates through the Deepin Software Center before the final version of Deepin is released.


Preinstalled Applications
At present, Deepin 2014 repository has been updated completely, which will enable our users to experience the latest and various software.

Deepin 2014 Beta will come out with the brand-new deepin cinema, deepin translator, Sougou Input Method and etc. Besides, more handy software have been added in the system, such as Shotwell(graphic manager), GParted(partition editor) and font viewer.

Installation
You can make the U disk as the startup disk with the help of software after downloading the Deepin 2014 Beta mirror. Then you can install it into your computer with brand-new deepin installer.

Since the release of Deepin2014 Alpha, we have received feedbacks from user about the failure of making system startup disk. To solve it, we will develop a cross-platform software to make system startup disk.

If your computer system in under Windows, we recommend you to download and install unetbootin and then make the startup disk with software prompts. For Linux, you’d better make it by dd command.

友情提示
Deepin 2014 Beta为测试版本，请不要在虚拟机中安装使用和评测。
目前发布的Deepin 2014为Beta版本，该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。
因为Deepin 2014使用了Compiz作为混合窗口管理器，Compiz在虚拟机下性能不佳，因此强烈建议各位将Deepin2014 Beta直接安装在真实主机上，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。

安装
下载Deepin 2014 Beta镜像后，您可利用软件将U盘制作为系统启动盘，然后使用全新的深度安装器，快速的将Deepin 2014 Beta安装到您的电脑上。
Deepin2014 Alpha版本以来，我们收到较多无法成功制作系统启动盘的反馈，对此我们将会尽快开发一款制作系统启动盘的跨平台软件来解决此问题。
目前如果您当前为Windows环境，我们推荐您下载安装unetbootin软件，依照软件提示制作系统启动盘。如果您当前为Linux环境，我们推荐您使用Linux下的dd命令制作系统启动盘。
