Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The Amoeba project is a research effort aimed at understanding how to connect multiple computers in a seamless way [16, 17, 26, 27, 31]. The basic idea is to provide the users with the illusion of a single porful timesharing system, when, in fact, the system is implemented on a collection of machines, potentially distributed among several countries. This research has led to the design and implementation of the Amoeba distributed operating system, which is being used as a prototype and vehicle for further research. In this article  will describe the current state of the system (Amoeba 4.0), and show some of the lessons  have learned designing and using it over the past eight years.  will also discuss how this experience has influenced our plans for the next version, Amoeba 5.0.  Amoeba was originally designed and implemented at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, and is now being jointly developed there and at the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, also in Amsterdam. The chief goal of this work is to build a distributed system that is transparent to the users. This concept can best be illustrated by contrasting it with a network operating system, in which each machine retains its own identity. With a network operating system, each user logs into one specific machine—his home machine. When a program is started, it executes on the home machine, unless the user gives an explicit command to run it elsewhere. Similarly, files are local unless a remote file system is explicitly mounted or files are explicitly copied. In short, the user is clearly aware that multiple independent computers exist, and must deal with them explicitly.  In contrast, users effectively log into a transparent distributed system as a whole, rather than to any specific machine. When a program is run, the system—not the user—decides upon the best place to run it. The user is not even aware of this choice. Finally, there is a single, system-wide file system. The files in a single directory may be located on different machines, possibly in different countries. There is no concept of file transfer, uploading or downloading from servers, or mounting remote file systems. A file's position in the directory hierarchy has no relation to its location.  The remainder of this article will describe Amoeba and the lessons  have learned from building it. In the next section,  will give a technical overview of Amoeba as it currently stands. Since Amoeba uses the client-server model,  will then describe some of the more important servers that have been implemented so far. This is follod by a description of how wide-area networks are handled. Then  will discuss a number of applications that run on Amoeba. Measurements have shown Amoeba to be fast, so  will present some of our data. After that,  will discuss the successes and failures  have encountered, so that others may profit from those ideas that have worked out ll and avoid those that have not. Finally  conclude with a very brief comparison beten Amoeba and other systems.  Before describing the software, hover, it is worth saying something about the system architecture on which Amoeba runs.
