Freely available or > shareware is preferred. I know of nothing so integrated as powerpoint, but I have been able to match much of its results by centering my prep work in xfig and using xli for slide-show presentation of the results and a graphical browser (I write html) to provide flexible presentation paths. Key support tools for me are ghostview, TeX, groff, netpbm, psutils, xdvi, xpaint, ImageMagick (sic), and mpeg_play. You may also find the shareware xv useful. These are all available via the packages and ports sections of FreeBSD. The results can be quite satisfactorily professional.
