Here in hungary there was some big news about the
Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences linking 50-60 PCs into what they called a supercomputer. I looked on their site, but couldn't find out what OS these 'client' PCs actually run. Linux is popular, especially at universities, so they could be running that...
They have a 'visual programming environment' that aids development of applications taking advantage of the distributed & parallel system. Quote: "It is aimed at creating a professional graphical programming environment for supporting the development cycle of parallel and distributed programs."
I myself am not familiar with distributed systems, so I don't know know how advanced it is, but I like seeing things like this in Hungary!
