Linux on PS3 for (LEGAL) Fun and Profit (or just Fun)

I have recently come into possession of a Fat PS3 with the old 3.15 firmware installed on it. What are the ramifications of this, you ask? Well, 3.15 was a firmware before they disabled the OtherOS ability to install other Operating Systems on the console.
Since I already have another PS3, this leaves me a free console to explore, so I was wondering what an enLinuxed PS3 could do. Does anyone have any experience with what would be fun - AND LEGAL (added on Mod advice) - to do with such a rig, or would it be just best if I updated it to the modern firmware and use it as a normal PS3?
As denoted by the bolded section, please don't suggest anything legally questionable. No emulators or such.

Give it a shot - I think it's Yellow Dog Linux? - and play around with it.
