Linux is a UNIX like OS. When you install the Cell version of Linux your PS3 will run like a computer. So you can browse the web, watch video, listen to audio, use open source office apps, play games, play emulators, etc. There are a few problems with Cell Linux though. There is no 3D support, limited access to RAM, slow notebook HDD, etc. So if you've got an interest in mucking around with Linux give it a go _but_ be aware that you'll have a better experience with a cheap x86 computer.
