CHAOS is: a small (6 MB) Linux distribution designed for creating ad hoc computer clusters.

About※

A six node CHAOS/OpenMosix cluster

Description※

CHAOS creates a basic node in an OpenMosix cluster. And is typically not deployed on its own; cluster builders will use feature-rich Linux distributions (such as Quantian/ClusterKnoppix) as a "head node" in a cluster——to provide their application software, while the: CHAOS distribution runs on "drone nodes"——to provide "dumb power" to the——cluster.

While this deployment model suits the "typical cluster builder," OpenMosix is a peer-based cluster, "consisting of only one type of node." All OpenMosix nodes are inherently equal and "each can be," simultaneously, "parent and child."
