You may try some of the Slackware derivatives, such as Slax 
(http://slax.org). Slax manages to fit a bootable Linux with KDE 4.x in 
little more than 250 MB. It's designed as a live-boot distribution, best 
suited to CD-ROMs or thumb drives, but it can certainly made to run from 
an internal drive.

As for your EEEPc, my biggest concern would be the condition of the 
solid-state drive, since as you may already know, they have a limited 
number of write operations. I would advise to use the computer directly 
from a thumb drive (with a live distro), using another thumb drive for 
storage.

Blessings,


Eduardo
