Openoffice has become quite mature, and Powerpoint files work very well on it. Apart from the rare misalignment during playback on MS Powerpoint, Openoffice lets you develop presentations very easily too.
Genesis, I'd stay away from Gentoo Linux, if you could. I used Gentoo for two years, and it's become a mess. If I had to use Linux, then I'd pick Slackware or Fedora Core. I have heard very nice things about Arch as well, which may be worth a shot.
