From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First to clarify, you mean with the clutch pedal "out." Pushing the pedal down actually disengages the clutch, ie forcing the plates apart to disconnect the engine from the transmission.
In a gasoline powered car that is in gear, yes there is a braking effect. Diesel engines don't, which is why semi trucks have a thing called a Jake Brake.
Also, depending on what went wrong with your engine/why it is shut down, you may not want to choose to do this.
