You could use it for that, though frankly it seems like a better idea to just get another laptop, even an older second-hand one. And install Linux on it if you'd like to.
But per se nothing wrong with trying it on the PS3, might serve your purpose, you might like it etc etc. Though not sure what software choices you'll have. PS3 is Power PC architecture, not the usual desktop/laptop x86. Adobe Flash for one doesn't seem available on this, Linux has one or two Flash substitutes but not sure how polished (and compatible with recent flash apps) they are.
