Roaming Profiles Equivelent
I was in the process of setting up a network made up of 6 linux machines and 1 linux server, and I was wondering if there was a way to create user accounts that can be accessed from all machines without having to create the accounts individually on each machine.

Depending on what you mean in 'roaming'... But.
Here is a solution to your need:
OpenLDAP as directory server
Linux client with PAM, NSS and the lpad client
Users /home folders can be created on each client machine at first logon of a user, or created on an NFS share on the server for full Roaming.
See those docs for more information
