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. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
