If you don't know what you're doing then don't do it. Linux will give new users headaches instead of joy.

EDIT: Running Linux on a laptop is much different than running it on a PS3. If you have a laptop with Linux already there is no purpose to put it on your PS3 because your laptop will be much better at running it and its applications. The processor on your laptop is better suited to run general PC applications and other Operating Systems. The PS3's Cell Processor is not. Its slower and you don't get a lot of RAM to work with. Use the PS3 for what its main purpose is: PS3 gaming.
