Other than LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org Impress what good presentation making tools are available for Ubuntu? I prefer a GUI tool which can export to PDF as I have to make presentation in Windows PC. Can PDF support animations with Adobe Reader 8/9?
I remember reading HTML presentations are often attractive but don't know how to create one. Are there nice tools for that purpose? Can such a presentation run with all effects on an older browser, say IE6/7?
I have previously done a presentation with VLC and a WiiMote.
VLC can display JPEG and PNG images as well. To pause after an item (especially images) add "vlc://pause:9999" below it in the playlist editor.
Information about getting a WiiMote to work can be found here:

It's a bit tedious, but not as hard as it may look.
The main draw of this approach is that VLC itself does not have any layout features, so that would have to be done in GIMP, Draw or similar. In any case: good luck!
Pencil Project (Download Link)
Despite the similar names this is different from Pencil.
The Pencil Project's unique mission is to build a free and opensource tool for making diagrams and GUI prototyping that everyone can use.

You have the following:
Scribus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribus (Already in the repository)
LyX - http://www.lyx.org/ (Already in the repository)
Sozi - http://sozi.baierouge.fr/wiki/sozi - A next generation presentation maker that is used as an extension with inkscape to create amazing presentations using SVG format.
And apart from Impress you have Draw in the LibreOffice suite.
All of this can export to PDF (Which is like a normal thing in Linux but not so normal in Windows since you need X or Y program to do it)
UPDATE - Included Sozi which I find a next generation presentation tool. Similar to Prezi.
