I would like to learn OpenGL programming on LINUX. I have found that I learn the quickest if I have a small self contained working project I can study and tweak. I could work with C, C++ or python source code.
Where can I find a good starter OpenGL example project that builds without too much hassle on Ubuntu 10.04?
Nehe is a really good teacher of OpenGL

The lessons are windows based but at the buttom of the page you can find vcodes for other os.
This is the link for the basic openGL app for linux:

Edit:
Check out te glut library also it makes things easier.
Here some nice samples too.
