OpenGL downloadable manual

Is there a complete OpenGL manual around that can be downloaded? I''m looking for something perhaps similar to Microsoft''s DirectX documentation. I am just about to start building an OpenGL version of my render DLL so I am wondering what "type" I should use. I am a real newbie here so all all know is what I have seen which is a vast assortment including glut, sdl, and I think some others. Which is lowest level one? I think SDL is a wrapper which I am not interested in. Thanks.

The gl 1.4 specs are on sgi.com website. You want that. The redbook is more like a user''s manual but it''s gl 1.1 only which means it''s old but is very useful when you''re starting out as it explains concepts more fully/clearer than sgi docs. Nehe tutorials like the poster mentioned above are very good but you should use all three docs for rounded education.
Thanks for the links! The red book looks very promising.
