My dad is building a computer to put Linux on and I'd like to know if D2/LOD will work on it. Or is this something I'll have to call Blizzard about?
If it will work then we'll have a third computer to play lan games on!

I would go to www.winehq.com and see if that will help. WINE for Linux is a Windows compatibility layer that can run many Windows applications within the Linux platform. I've actually been able to mod and play D2X under RedHat Linux 6.1 using the WINE program to play and StarOffice to mod.
This ran in DirectDraw and GLIDE (Haven't tried Direct3d). Some applications run better than others depending on the build of WINE that you're using, your Linux OS, and system configuration.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it.
