If you run the OpenOffice UCI package instead of the tar.gz package, you can run it with MUCH less than 384MB of RAM. Probably with 128MB or even less if you have a swap file or swap partition activated.

Also, the siag office extensio should have the Egon animator program which is kinda like a presentation software. But I would suspect that magicpoint is the ideal solution.

You wouldn't need OO installed to view a presentation if you export it as an SWF and you have the Flash plugin installed for Firefox. Just load up the SWF file in Firefox and put it in fullscreen mode.

Actually, I was looking around on the mozilla extensions site the other day, quite a few handy little extensions, one of them makes your fullscreen really fullscreen, ie. no bars, navigation, etc. Though not sure how you'd get out of it if you were viewing an SWF fullscreen, as I think it uses a menu added to the right-click to exit, and, well, you'd get the Flash menu if you right-click on an SWF...

The 384mb comes from having all 5 applications in OOo running at the same time.

They take up ~=384mb.

Writer, Calc, Impress, Design, and there's one more, but I can't remember what it is...

RE: the fullscreen extension, it's here:
Mozilla Extensions - AutoHide
The settings are under Preferences/Advanced, you can set auto-hide menu-bar, which will give you your menu-bar when you put your mouse at the top of the screen, so you can access usual menus plus get out of fullscreen mode. 'Cause I tried it and you don't get the right-click option to escape fullscreen if you are right-clicking on an SWF file...
