As far as I know OpenGL for Linux isn't available yet, but will be soon,
here is the info I have.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 5, 1995 -- Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (E&S)
and Portable Graphics, Inc. (PGI) , a wholly-owned subsidiary of E&S,
announce the availability of OpenGL(r) for Linux from E&S. OpenGL for Linux
is a software implementation of the OpenGL Sample Implementation from Silicon
Graphics, Inc. and runs as an extension to the standard X package on Linux.
It is a complete development environment that can be used to write, compile,
and run OpenGL applications. OpenGL for Linux is the first 3D product from
E&S that is aimed at the Linux operating system.
OpenGL for Linux is an OpenGL-compliant product and passes the OpenGL
conformance test suites for all the currently shipping servers. A LinkKit
will be provided to ensure that users can configure additional extensions and
video drivers as needed.
The initial price for OpenGL for Linux from E&S is $79.00 plus shipping and
handling. Anticipated availability is within four weeks. Direct ordering
information and additional technical information will be posted to this news
group within the next two weeks.
In keeping in the spirit of the Linux community, all the development time for
OpenGL for Linux was donated by Evans & Sutherland employees. Many of the
developers are loyal Linux users who are keenly interested in developing 3D
graphics technology for the Linux environment. OpenGL for Linux will provide
a sophisticated application development environment, as well as an excellent
migration path for 3D applications. E&S intends to offer one of the first
OpenGL applications for Linux, as work has already begun on Open Inventor
from E&S.
This product is being developed under the guidance of the Linux community.
We at E&S welcome comments and ideas about your own work in 3D graphics and
how we can become a part of it. Please post your questions and comments to
[email protected]. Stay tuned to this posting for additional product, technical,
and program information.
