Gentoo is only net-hungry on the install and on updates.....If you can
do the install before he goes net-free, then your fine, glsa-check
should cover you for the updates....
I would assume that in most cases source tarballs will be smaller than
binaries to download too :)
If you can download the runtime image
+ portage beforehand onto a thumb drive
or DVD's the Gentoo install isn't even
all that net hungry.
You might find that Damn Small Linux is,
well, damn small and doesn't take that
much bandwidth to download.
