Try googling for: opengl red book

there are also some PDF versions floating around, that can probably be found
using kazaa or some other p2p network.

unBZ2 and then unTAR

:::IMHO:::

NeHe’s OpenGL Tutorials are also really keen
they may be found here

on his site he lists OpenGL Game Progamming by staff
at GameDev.net, however I’ve read both this book and
Linux Game Progamming, and I have found both to be
rather vapid theory books with little usefull code

The RedBook was better.

another great book (although it has nothing to do w/
OpenGL) is “Math for Game Programmers” I think that’s
the exact title at anyrate. I’ve read several chapters
and have really liked it so far (although I cannot
afford it and can only read it when I visit my local
B&N) It has really helped my understanding of how to
do some things (like collision detection and stuff) in
3D graphics.

good luck

of the tut programs i noticed it used SDL too (:
