I haven't seen anyone present > with a Linux laptop yet... Any of you tried it? I'd love to know!! I've done my presentations on, first BSD and then Linux for over 6 years now. I've been working with almost everything that can do presentation. Here are a few of them that I consider nice. Simpress (OpenOffice): Nice to work with although it is a little to much for me. I do have had 2 occasions where OpenOffice crashed and I lost some of my presentation but that has always been in the process of making the presentation. It is very much like Powerpoint but it lacks a few minor things. I have converted a lot of powerpoint files into OpenOffice format with no hazzles but I'm not a advanced Powerpoint user so there could be problems there for all I know. Kpresenter (KDE): I used this a couple of years ago so I'm not up to date with it. Latex: Here we have a few different ways to make a presentation. The last thing I used is Prosper. It is really good but you are back to hacking latex. It produces dvi, ps or pdf. We use latex at work because we share the presentation in our CVS-tree. There are a few other classes in latex to produce presentations. Foiltex and seminars are two. Magicpoint: The easiest. Could also be used with CVS because of its clear text format. http://freshmeat.net/projects/openoffice/?topic_id=129%2C131 http://freshmeat.net/projects/koffice/?topic_id=57%2C131 http://freshmeat.net/projects/prosper/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/foiltex/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/seminar/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/magicpoint/?topic_id=129 You could also have check out this http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=slides§ion=projects /Bengan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
