Probably play Marvel vs Capcom and D&D Shadow Over Mystara.
I use Gentoo and it works fine for me. Some people say its hard to install but as long as your good at following directions you should be ok.

I have OpenSuse on my PS3 and it works like a charm 
About what one would do with Linux on the PS3.... same as with Linux on a PC?
I have the PSPSDK installed on it, an UnrealIRCd + Services, Apache, MySQL, Subversion.... the whole nine yards
Currently my PS3 spends 80% of it's time running Linux

So you pretty much use it as a server?I have OpenSuse on my PS3 and it works like a charm

That's a pretty decent use for it, you might be a bit tight on ram. Although you couldn't really use it as a server properly unless you left it on in linux all the time. and hence no PS3 games D:
do stuff ps3 cant do
I ran an Xubuntu(Only livecd I had handy) apache/php/ssh/ftp/vnc(vino)/samba/etcetc server that had some 328 or so mb of ram and that thing was/is really quick.
Linux is really nice with ram. Especially with the beastly processor the PS3 has.

Well, I use it for almost everything
The server processes (apache, MySQL and w/e) are mostly for development, trying out the stuff on it. Or just for fun, for the sake of just having it
Of course I also have all the usual small things on it as well, like IRC client and whatever else one needs on a regular basis
It could have some more ram though, indeed, 256MB is a bit short for a recent Linux distro.... well, but it works
And if I want to play a game I just type "boot-game-os"

But then your server goes down, which blows.

Well, as I am the only person accessing that "server" and I am busy playing a game at that moment.... no harm done

Hmm, can't confitm that.
Text is as readable on SDTV as it is on any PC in textmode, just that there doesn't fit much text on one screen at once due to the limited resolution.
I used Linux quite a while on SDTV while my PS3 was at my ex-GF's place.
