I used Debian for years on a dial up.  If you're using dial up you
really need to be on BT's Surf Anytime package so the cost of the call
is free.

So my response to your disadvantage is don't wait!!! Go shopping, go
to sleep, do something else.

As long as that download time is, it is still shorter than doing a 
full Gentoo rebuild from scratch!!!!  - Sorry Geoff/SteveW couldn't
                                        resist the dig :-)
