does diablo 2 work with linux?

You could use wine, or some implementation of it.

Since it's not very graphic intensive, it should run okay on most systems.

On my Tbird 1.2GHZ 256mb RAM Geforce 4600, it ran kind of sluggish on Ubuntu, with WINE it can be done, but the results can vary greatly, so you'll have to test it out to see if it actually works fine on yours.

That's really odd Salgat.. I remember using wine with similar games (like Starcraft) on P2's. Perhaps you didn't have the correct video acceleration installed then?

tip: when ever looking for a program just google it. sometimes it take so trial and error with search terms but this method is yet to fail me.

True, you can use google to help - for example you could search like
wine site:http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/
though it can't always be guaranteed that google's caches are up-to-date.
