In today's world, no one uses a distributed OS. It was never practical enough to have ever emerged from research labs at universities into the commercial market. You'll not find a list of such OS outside research environments.

The majority of the world is either on a Monolithic Kernel on a Single System (WinNT, Linux, Unix) or on a Microkernel on a single system (MachOS aka OSX, QNX, Most embedded OS).
