As promised the other desktop environment spins have landed:
KDE
LXDE
MATE
MINIMAL
XFCE
These are located at my Fedora people page [1]
Instruction are located on the Fedora-arm remix wiki [2]
Going forward I plan to gradually improve these images.
* The next step is to provide a better kernel more inline with Fedora
kernel standards.
* Later down the road hope to use the Fedora Multi-Platform kernel
once upstream Exynos support improves.
* nv-u-boot (chainned bootloader) support
Some folks have expressed interest in an easy way to put these images
on the internal SSD.
That should be possible, but I've not tried.
Will probably provide a tarball of the minimal rootfs to enable people
to update the script published earlier this year by Daniel Berrangé

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Fedora 19 for the
2012 Samsung
Chromebook featuring ARM Exynos dual core A15 processor.
The initial release is based on MATE desktop environment.
Expect to see KDE, XFCE, LXDE, and SUGAR to land in the next few days.
Exact steps:
(assume the sdcard is /dev/sdz)
# fetch the remix image
wget
http://parasense.fedorapeople.org/f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz
# write the image to sdcard
sudo xzcat f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz > /dev/sdz
# resize the rootfs partition
sudo sgdisk -p -a8192 -e -d5 -n5:0:0 -t5:8300 -c5:'ROOTFS' -p /dev/sdz
# resize the rootfs ext4 filesystem
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdz5
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdz5
#THE END
