 I settled for prosper, a LaTeX class which produces beautiful
 presentations and comes with a sizeable number of templates. Only
 downside: One has to use acroread to show them (available as
 unofficial deb package) as xpdf isn't up to the task.

Prosper rules! That said, please don't use acroread. Why don't you use
pspresent? Keep prosper at the pdf setting, but produce a postscript
file. Works very well. Mind you, you might have to specify pspresent -O
SeaScape to get the orientation right. Of course, you could hack your
postscript file to get it right, :-)

OpenOffice.org has a presentation app much like Powerpoint. Should run
OK on Woody, if not check for a backport.

It's definitely OK. :)

Your English is fine.  You might want to take a look at MagicPoint, an
X11 based presentation tool.  It can be found at:

I have no affiliation with them.
