I used to be on dial-up as most old timers here may recall.  Here are
the bad things:  Libreoffice and a full KDE upgrade.  It would take me
DAYS to download everything.  Heck, it takes me a while and I have DSL
now.  Just be prepared.

I don't know about your area but here, DSL was cheaper than dial-up when
I first got it.  Right now, they are the same price, last I checked on
the dial-up prices anyway.  You may want to check those prices IF you
can get DSL.

Is Gentoo doable, yea.  Does it take patience, yep it does.  Dial-up is
slow.
