You don't "Get" openGL, it is a rendering mode for SRB2 that (in my opinion) looks alot better than the default Software renderer. But we're not gonna get into that right now. Just use the launcher and click the OpenGL checkbox.

Or, create a shortcut, and under "Target" in the Properties box, tack on "-opengl" (without the quotes, obviously).

As for what OpenGL is... Wikipedia FTW.

Can we replace r_opengl.dll with this? :P

Uh, that's probably the same thing. Using a new OpenGL dll isn't going to magically get you that stuff, you have to have somebody program it into the game. :(

I knew that, that's the whole point. I want to watch you people work your butts of so I can have better gaming.

Or to unlock more possibilities.

Just in case you don't know where it is, click HERE to download it. When the download window pops up, click open, then extract the exe file to your SRB2 folder. Open up the Launcher (exe file) and click options. Check the OpenGL Mode box then click on RUN!
