Hi all,

this is a bit off topic but there are 2 reasons why I pose my question
here anyway: 1) because I don't know where I SHOULD post the
question and 2) because I tend to think very high of lispers,
especially of comp.lang.lispers :-)

The question is: What software package to use to make a slide show or
presentation on a linux environment? Windows people are _very_ fond of
powerpoint (pp) and (although I hate to admit it) I think it is good
at it.  Is there some kind of pp for linux?  One could use netscape to
make a slide show but then there should be some good interface to
actuallly make it easyer I think...

thanks, Joachim.

Use StarPresenter of StarOffice or KPresenter of the new KOffice

StarPresenter is much more mature.

ImPress might be an option:

It's written in Tcl, so retch/enjoy as you will...
