If you give someone a machine with software on it, that counts as distribution. If you are careful, you can probably keep your proprietary code separate, and distribute source code for the open-source bits under the appropriate licenses. However, you have to be very careful that your proprietary code does not constitute a "derivative work" of GPL'd software; otherwise, you are obliged to distribute your proprietary code under the GPL.
