I originaly bought D3 (Windows) back when it first came out, and beat it.  I've been
playing it again, lately, and discovered that the Linux demo not only runs a *lot*
better than the Windows version but doesn't require me to reboot my dual-boot
machine.

But I'd like to play the full game, and maybe take a crack at a net game.  Can 
anyone tell me:
(1) Is there a way to get the full version under Linux using the demo and 
    the Windows data files?
(2) If not, could someone point me to where I could grab the full version (w/ or 
    w/o data files)?
(3) Or, at least where I could buy it?  I know Loki went under a while back, and 
    I've been completely unable to find a copy for sale.  It'd be worth the $10 ...

Also, what's the state of the online gaming community, these days?  Any good 
servers?  

Thanks ...
