That's true.  OpenGL (which will do SW rendering) will
certainly be available on most/all Linux machines (except for
headless or text-only servers).

Not true.  None of my machines have hardware 3D acceleration.
One is only 9 months old, the others are 2-3 years old.
However, OpenGL's software rendering works fine and has
sufficient performance for most things short of 3D video games.
