I will probably go back to LaTeX and PDF... just because ppt annoys me so.

Knowing that, I'd have to agree with Nate. Have you tried SlideShare.net? You can upload in many different formats, and play the presentation in full screen in your browser. If you use Firefox, hitting F11 makes the browser full-screen, making the presentation look more like it's local. Just my 2 cents.

Only time I don't is when I have to collaborate with somebody else and they want to use PPT/Impress Using Kompozer, create a template with style sheet. First one takes some time, but after that, you can slam out "slides" as fast there as with anything else and the advantage is that when you want to put them online, just upload the directory and provide a link .
