The eeePC should have plenty of resources for this. I would use a seperate USB stick or SD card (handy to increase storage and it doesn't stick out.) Download the SoaS ISO file onto the USB or SD card. Then use LiveUSB Creator in Wiindows to create another USB stick. This should let you specify the persistent storage when you create the stick.
