Question

Will linux operating sytem support presentations like powerpoint?

Answer 1

yes . most linux installation comes with open office.

IMPRESS is  a presentation program similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It can export presentations to Adobe Flash (SWF) files allowing them to be played on any computer with the Flash player installed. It also includes the ability to create PDF files, and the ability to read Microsoft PowerPoint's .ppt format. Impress suffers from a lack of ready-made presentation designs. However, templates are readily available on the Internet

Here is a demo of what openoffice Impress can do for you.
