Is there an open source software that will easily allow taking say 100 machines (each with Ubuntu Linux installed) and combining them into one BIG cluster?

This way, the user of the cluster will not have to worry about connecting to individual machines etc -- it will just connect to the cluster, run scripts / apps on it etc.

Is it possible to do?

Have a look at Maui scheduler and Torque resource manager.

denver -- great. Do these actually make a cluster? or just help managing it? – user76976 Jul 20 '11 at 23:54

Condor is another program used for resource/job management. It is also capable of consuming idle cycles on computers running some form of Linux that are idle for a time.
