1 Hi folks,
2
3 I have just heard about a TeX/LaTeX extension by the name "beamer" that can
4 produce stunning slide shows. I have been told that it beats PowerPoint,
5 Impress, KPresenter and any other presentation software hands down due to
6 TeX's built-in knowledge of true typesetting. Another advantage is that the
7 result is a PDF and can be presented on any system with a fairly recent PDF
8 viewer. A friend of mine showed it to some PowerPoint magicians and
9 apparently, they were blown away.

11 I tried
12 emerge --pretend --verbose beamer
13 which returned nothing.

15 Does anybody know whether it is in portage - and if so, under what name?
