Fedora 17: Beefier Than Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

[Teho]

I'm sorta attached to Ubuntu or Mint for this.

The Ubuntu Software Center is being ported to PackageKit as GSOC project so even if there isn't one yet there soon will be.

Sorry, I didn't quite get that. The compile bench is faster on Fedora because it's GCC 4.6 vs. 4.7 or because disk access is faster in Beefy Miracle?

Does Fedora 17 comes with a software center now? I'm sorta attached to Ubuntu or Mint for this.

I think you meant that Ubuntu stuck with GCC 4.6, no?

Ja, fixed thanks.

Fedora 17 was quick to adopt GCC 4.7 where as Ubuntu 12.04 LTS took the conservative approach of living with GCC 4.7

I think you meant that Ubuntu stuck with GCC 4.6, no? Anyway..
Thanks for the benchmarks. It's good to see a performance boost with gcc 4.7 and newer kernels, even for Ubuntu users.
