The last few times I did a presentation, I just used a wireless mouse. It only takes a left click to advance to the next page - the laser isn't needed for that.

Hi Folks

I have attended several presentations when the presenter used a remote
device to move to the next slide. The laptop ore netbook being used
was running Windows.   Is it possible to do this with a netbook
running kubuntu?  I guess some extra hardware might be required as
well as some extra software.   Has anyone done this?

The hardware normally shows up like a mouse, and in my experience,
this works just fine on Linux.

Example hardware:

You can also use just a wireless mouse if you tape over the laser before
presentation.
