I've looked it up many times, but most of the information on rendering text in opengl seemed to be for windows. I was wondering if anyone knows of a method that is fairly simple and can easily be ported to linux.

There is a NEHE tutorial on fonts HERE.
It has a link at the bottom of a version already ported to Linux using SDL.

I've written a small solution using Freetype, feel free to use it or learn from it GLFT_Font.
