GLUT won't really help. It's not a software renderer, nor does it
implement the OpenGL API. GLUT (aka OpenGL Utility Toolkit) is a
utility library to easy the programming of portable OpenGL software--it
provides a platform independant interface to windowing and input
systems.
Perhaps you were thinking of Mesa, or SGI's reference software OpenGL
implementation? In either case, I suspect Jim's Explora will be running
NCDWare, and thus he won't easily be able to install third-party stuff.
