Depends on the graphics hardware.

Its similar to using an external monitor - if you get it running at
1024x768 you /should/ be OK.

Very much depends on the hardware.

Its acceptable. Its basicly the same as powerpoint.

Yes, magicpoint, but it has a learning curve. Open office is WYSIWYG,
magicpoint is driven by a text file. If you do a lot of presentations its
worth learning magicpoint.

Which model? You may need to google for config files. I haven't got my
T41p reliably working with projectors at > 648x480 yet. Seems to depend on
the sync rate. Major problem on the IBM is that the LCD/CRT control
(Fn+F7) doesnt do anything under Linux. My old dell worked very reliably
in this respect.
