As an owner of the current Eee PC version, I am limited by the 4GB SSD. However 8GB would be more then enough space for GPS maps and photos etc. I don't use it as a primary computing device. The proposed configuration does not help me, if I where to upgrade. And I suspect most other linux users would agree. I think Asus needs to flip the space requirements the other way as windows is more resource hungry and would benefit more than linux with a SSD greater then 8GB.
