As long as the installation files are legally owned and installed on
only one machine, installing Mac on a Windows PC is legal;

So to avoid piracy if you want to set up multiple machines for use
you'll have to either to re-license each Mac installation, or you can
use any of the many flavors of free Linux with no licensing or
registration fees.
Most builds of Linux are free and all the free ones can be installed on
an unlimited number of machines. Several builds of Linux also have OEM
(Original Equipment Manufacturer's) installation file sets, also for
free. Linux Mint has only one desktop style available in OEM, the Mate
style, which happens to be my pick of the litter.

Ubuntu has standard download files and from what I understand, during
the DVD Live Load installation you can press F4 to get the OEM option.

I don't have any idea if the Vinux rebuild of Ubuntu has this feature
untouched or not. It'd be worth a try.

OEM installations let you pre-install Linux and when the end user starts
up the machine, they will be prompted through setting their own user
name and password and some other details to customize their system. That
way you don't have to assign user names and passwords and then the end
user won't have to get into setup settings and changing all that for
themselves if they feel the need.
