I don't know if that was a typo, but letting users run the software on your computer, isn't 'distribution' in the usual sense. What you said sounds true of the GPL, but doesn't give a complete account of the AGPL.

From the FSF: [0]

by "your computer" i meant your server. It's the same thing, isn't it?

Yes, but that isn't distributing copylefted code. If it were, the GPL and the AGPL would be the same licence.
