[PlanetCCRMA] doing a presentation?

[Oded Ben-Tal]

I'm planning to present my work next week, and was hoping to get some 
advice about using planetccrma.
1) how easy/difficult is it to get RH9 talking with the projection 
equipment? 
1a) is it possible to check if its working at home without the projector 
somehow?
2) how relieble this is?
3) how good/bad is using open-office presentation application
4) any other simple better application?

I'm running planetCCRMA on an IBM thinkpad running RH9.

Thanks
