I am considering moving to Gentoo, but all that I have read doesnt suggest that an install and upgrading with Portage can be done with a modem. Also, I have been having trouble using my ISP (AT&T Global Network) work with any flavor of Linux becuase of its odd user name, user group, pw setup.

Any suggetions??
