[dms-discuss] Dedicated computer for projector

[Wesley Aptekar-Cassels]

Libre Office Present (For Linux, Windows, and OS X) can show powerpoints
as well as many more open formats.  Plus Windows XP is past-EOL, so
you probably shouldn't use it.

As for the remote control, do you have the model?  Probably someone's
tried to get it working in Linux before.
