I am a beginer programmer in c++ and python and I am looking for tutorials on opengl and SDL progamming. I tried the red book, but it is kinda obscure. I was hoping for tutorials with code example. All help is welcomed and appreciated

I wouldn't recommend trying OpenGL with C++ if you are just beginning programming. That said here are some tutorials if you still want to dive in:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/
http://www.zeuscmd.com/tutorials/opengl/02-SettingUpYourEnvironment.php#unix
http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=tutorials/ogladv/index

The Nehe site has the best tutorials for learning OpenGL on the net. Most of the Nehe tutorials have source code in many different languages as well. The other two aren't as good but have some good examples for Linux.

IMO, the best place for you to start would be to learn Python and once your comfortable with that try out pygame, Python bindings for SDL.

Good Luck
