Recently the Metro Detroit Linux User's Group (MDLUG,
http://www.mdlug.org/) was invited by the Sterling Heights Computer
Club (a DOS/Windows crowd) to give a presentation and demonstration of
Linux. I put together a Powerpoint-style slideshow and we used a
framegrabber to display it on a large TV screen during the
introductory talk.
 
The slideshow is done in standard HTML and is set up to display well in
640x480 (the best the framegrabber could do). Each bullet point on the
slides is a link to a page with further information on that topic,
many with links to other sites on the web. This way, if the audience
is shy or there isn't enough time to fully answer a question, they can
view the slides as a website and get more information on their
own. The last page is a list of further resources (including the URL
for the presentation itself) and is suitable for printing as a handout.
 
It's my hope that this slideshow may be of use to others who want to
do a presentation on Linux, if only as a source of ideas. Feel free to
use or modify the slides yourself. Of course, corrections and comments
are welcome, too. The presentation is at:
