Simple. Just do a standard install, configure your network properly ad then you should be able to telnet, ftp etc. between the computers. So you can do almost everything that you can do with telnet. For a ore advanced configuration, you could configure your server with nfs, o your slave has acces to some sort of drive and it is more easy to exchange files between each other. Furthermore, if you need, you can also display X-windows from your slave on your server monitor, so you are also able to run visual application.
I hope this is something you want to do?
