Unless you want to have Linux on your TV, there is no point.

PS3 for games
PC for PC stuff.

well you could run the ps3 as a computer, I imagine you could get open office onto it and use it as a work machine... don't really see the point though

I've heard of people who have hooked up the ps3 to automate their houses though...

check out ps3news.com for linux info. Personally I wouldn't bother. Due to Sony restricting number of cells linux can access it's not the fastest computer in the world....
