I have a theoretical idea, and setting aside ethics (there's a pun in there I'm sure) I think this may provide more true anonymity?
Those who know my current situation (read my intro post) know that I don't have a computer of my own right now. I use the public library, and feel pretty safe. In fact, I have to use proxies to get OUT of the public library onto fine sites such as evilzone (they think it's evil. go figure).
What I am curious about, is why not install a botnet on the library computers? I know there's a lot of technical aspects to bypass (I don't have admin access, and it's using deepfreeze or something similar which would need to be circumnavigated) but if I chained a few different public library computers together, say in a city/state I will never visit again, and then use a VPN to access THAT network, wouldn't it theoretically be anonymous?
I'm sure I've missed something, please enlighten me :-).

Any computer that's part of a botnet will help make you more anonymous, theoretically. Public computers are just nice because you can be assured that at night no one will be on them. Then again, most likely they will be shut off at night. Not to mention all the skiddies going in there with USB drives containing some payload they downloaded because they wanna "h4x0r" a computer, so you'll have all of that fucking with your botnet as well. If your a pro coder and good at exploitation, knock yourself out. But if you were, I highly doubt you'd be posting here to ask that because you'd already know the answer. So my advice to you, just stay away from botnets until you can code your own and make it polymorphic to boot. Hope this helps man :)

What he said^
I shouldnt have to tell you about the risks involved?
If your basically the only person(IP address) all those machines are connecting to any competent system admin will start to notice weird things, especially if the data rate is high.
Youll probably have to use reverse TCP connections to avoid firewalling and alike.
As daemon said , dont underestimate what its gonna take.
Especially not to get caught.
Nevertheless is a bold idea and I like it.. This is evilzone right.
*edit*
Why not start with one single machine and go from there.

You don't need a botnet to turn library computers into proxy servers. Think 3proxy (http://evilzone.org/anonymity/3proxy-all-sorts-of-proxy-servers-%28http-https-ftp-socks45-msn-%29/).
