Use it how? As in, run games or other software that uses OpenGL? Or program in OpenGL?

You can do both. For just running programs that use OpenGL, (assuming you have a video card that supports GL), just get the right drivers for your video card and you're good to go.

To program using it, you'll need a GL library such as Mesa, and probably some GL toolkits such as glu or glut.
