I don't know about now, but the last time I tried OOo to do a
presentation, that presentation apps in the OOo suite really got on my
nerves. It wasn't easy to get it to work the way I wanted my
presentation to look like, option were not intuitive to find in the
menus, ran into memory problems trying to embed a movie, and generally
it just got very frustrating.  Since it was for work, and I had access
to MS Office, I ended up using Powerpoint instead and it was a better
experience for me at the time. I rarely need to use anything more
powerful than a text editor most of time, so things like vi and the
Google Docs works just fine for me in my normal routine.

As anyone tried IBM's Symphony?

They do have a Windows and Linux version, but I have never tried it,
so I don't know how it compares to OOo.
