GLUT is on the Red Hat 8.0 installation CD's, actually (disc 3, I
think).  They just aren't installed by default.  More annoyingly, they
aren't included in any of the package categories presented at
installation, so you need to click the "everything" button to get the
installer to pick it up.

You will need the glut-devel package to compile FlightGear (that's
where the headers are).  The glut RPM is sufficient to run a
FlightGear binary.

They should probably work on any RPM distribution.  GLUT is a
software-only library with no dependencies outside X11, GL and GLU.
