Is there a Linux-based distributed operating system that you can install in your home network and take advantage of multiple machines you have?

I assume you are referring to a Beowulf cluster. There are several Linux distributions intended for the creation of Beowulf clusters. These include:* openMosix (defunct) * ClusterKnoppix (defunct) * PelicanHPC (active) * Rocks Clusters (active) * Bootable Cluster CD (out of date) Note that unless you are using an application that both supports forking and can tolerate the high latency of a Beowulf cluster, you will have little practical use for such a project. It probably won't do what you think it will.
