  1. OpenGL for Linux? by plaa · · Score: 2, Redundant

    About OpenGL
    ...
    OpenGL is available on all other major computer platforms, including IRIX®, SolarisTM , HP-UX, Compaq® Tru64® UNIX®, AIX®, BeOS, Windows NT®, Windows® 98 and Mac® OS.

    No Linux?

    AFAIK Mesa isn't officially an OpenGL implementation, because it hasn't been tested, but aren't there any implementations that have gone through the tests?

    Also missing from the list are the newer versions of Windows...
