There are several packages for making nice slides with LaTeX. The best one I've seen so far is prosper (available as a Debian package). If you use Acrobat Reader as your viewer, you get a few nice transitions too (although I personally find transitions a waste of time).

Mozilla's SVG support is not very good, and you would probably need to build it yourself, since the Debian packages (and the mozilla.org binaries) don't include it. There is a beta version of Adobe's plugin, though, that you may be able to make work. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
