S5 http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ is another nifty powerpoint
replacement.
And of course there's Opera's presentation mode, which is a separate
CSS style over your normal content :-) with the advantage that as it's
just XHTML underneath, it's pretty easy to write in vi, rather than
"construct" in some GUI environment.
I've been using S5 in anger with great success, and highly recommend it.
Write the content in your preferred editor, in very simple XHTML,
include the reference to the style-sheet, and Bob's your uncle. No
mucking around learning arcane tools, proprietary or open-source, and
everyone already has the viewer required to view the content after the
event - their web-browser. When I ask someone for a copy of their
presentation, I hate to be sent a PowerPoint file. With S5, just send
people a link.
What you lose is the whizzy little fly-in bits and pieces (hooray!), and
the pretty WYSIWYG editor.
