-Mesa is distributed in several parts:
+The Mesa package is named MesaLib-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} where x.y.z
+is the version. There are three types of compressed archives.

-<ul>
-<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
- and documentation.

-<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.

-If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
-package.
+There's also the MesaGLUT-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} packages which

+This is optional.
+Most Linux distributions include an implementation of GLUT (such as freeglut).

-If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages.
