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 [3]

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
