If you're looking for something to keep on your computer, I recommend trying Open Office. It's a program that's designed to be like Microsoft Office, but is given away for free. One thing that's really neat is that you're able to open/edit/save all your programs in the MSOffice formats, so you can still easily bring them back and forth from school/work.
Download it here:
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html
Click on the STABLE version. It says "OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 (stable)"
The program that you use to make slideshow presentations is called "Impress" - that's their version of Powerpoint. There will be a few things that look different, but they both do the same thing.
There are some tutorials here:

I've never used them, but they look very detailed and easy to understand.
If you don't need to make your own presentations and just want to see other people's presentations, you can use the PowerPoint viewer instead:

Good luck!
