> BTW, what are the Linux alternatives to Powerpoint?

The three I'm aware of are:  Word Perfect Office Suite (non-free),
OpenOffice.org (free), and StarOffice (non-free).  I've also seen many
PowerPoint _style_ presentations done using only HTML.  Unless you're using
non-standard plugins (such as flash, or other proprietary things), you won't
get the fun animated slide show features you can get with the other options.

I know that OpenOffice.org and StarOffice have at least limited support for
reading PPT files, and I think Word Perfect Office might as well.  I really
have no idea how good the support is for reading PPT files on any of those
platforms, tho.  But for making presentations from scratch, I suspect any of
those would be suitable for most people.  (OpenOffice.org is my personal
preference to replace any MS Office applications).
