Hello,
It is possible to switch from Red Hat 7 Beta to CentOS 7 (beta or final) when it exist? I would like to test newer software than CentOS 6.5
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Have you tried fedora? CentOS 6.5 is about equivalent to fedora 14. If I recall correctly, fedora switched to GNOME 3 at v15. I believe it's up to v20 now. That would be about like CentOS 7.5 alpha. In my opinion. http://get.fedoraproject.org should redirect to their download page.

If you enjoy a beta o/s, and fixes pretty much daily, and often dropping support for older hardware, and....
mark, NOT a fan of fedora

Hello Darr247,
I know Fedora very well (I'm a Red Hat User since the early years of Red Hat.)
My question is, can I switch afterwards the test from Red Hat 7 Beta to CentOS without reinstall the system?

No.
While it may (or may not) be technically possible to do that, it not a supported method and is guaranteed to be far more work than it would be to simply re-install from scratch.
