How can I make a powerpoint presentation un-editable?

I want to put one on a CD and give them out, but would like to not have it changed by the recipients.

You can make the file read-only, but I think that file property is set whenever you burn a file anyways. Of course, the recipient could easily uncheck read-only and edit the file.

Make it a pdf.
At least on linux, it's dead easy ... print it to a file, and then run it through ps2pdf. I've been doing alot of it lately, and it works great.

Also has the advantage of making it cross-platform, and maybe a little more future proof ... I have more faith in the pdf standard remaining backward compatible then microsoft's file formats.
