Recently it was brought under my attention that there is a good tool
available for PowerPoint-like presentations: GPP, the GNU portable
Presenter. It is written in Perl+Tk and what I've seen so far is quite
impressive. 

The presenter is a Perl module, the presentation itself is a small
Perl program.

You can find GPP on http://www.dhp.nl/~gpp .
The current version, 0.96, requires a recent Perl/Tk, Time::Hires
(CPAN), X11::Protocol (CPAN), Image::Magick 2.28 (CPAN) and
ImageMagick-2.2.8 (http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html).
(Alternatively, ImageMagick is 2.2.9 with Image::Magic version 2.29).
