I'd say get broadband. You'll have a much better experience with Libranet that way, since it's a Debian based distro. You'll usually need extensive use of the apt repositories, so you'll need a good bit of bandwidth. Unless, of course, you are a VERY patient person.
Other than that, Slackware is pretty good, although it doesn't hold your hand so much.
Just my $.02
