That doesn't matter too much AFAIK. I've been running Gentoo for quite a 
while, and I could run OpenGL screen savers without a problem, but once I 
started UT2004 or any other OpenGL app it said that it couldn't find the libs. 
And I don't think it's platform dependant. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course
