Linux on the PS3

Hey guys, i just bought a PS3 and was doing a little reading online, and found that you could install an OS on it. I was just wondering what would that do? And do any of you find it useful to have installed?

Thanks guys.

ill list a few things i can do from teh comfort of my livingroom with linux

word processor, faster (like normal speed) browser(firefox), cheesy games thats dont require any ram, ktorrent, pidgon messenger (aim, msn, yahoo, any messenger imaginable all simoltaneously), super nes emulator (every supernes game ever created has a rom available on ktorrent),and my favorite, www.streammygame.com

that website also has full instructions for installation of yellow dog and their software. ubuntu is also available however

Put it this way, if you don't know what Linux is then you don't need it.meeks_jr

Well everyone's gotta start somewhere. And i just want to make full use of my ps3 (if i do find it useful). I didnt need the internet until i knew what it could do.. so yeah, same concept i guess.
