Not true although if you do replace OS X with Linux and proceed to take your hardware to a Mac shop the fanboys running the place will be up in arms. ;)

It might be illegal to install OS X on a PC, but installing other operating systems on a Mac is certainly legal, and even encouraged by Apple (as said above, they made a special program to enable this feature.)

If you read the Mac OS X user license agreement (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/macosx104.pdf), you'll see that you are licensed to install it on only Apple computers.
So if your country honors both parties adhering to license agreements, then, yes, it is illegal to install Mac OS X on a non-Apple computer.
By the way, I've moved this to a more appropriate forum.
