server, able to run applications from local machine with data accessed

May you suggest me what need to be installed on Server, and how client
need to be configured (may be with some additional softwares.)

Simple advise and pointer to article, howto or tutorial will be more
than enough.

The simplest configuration is to set up cron jobs to copy the passwd,
group and shadow files between the machines and use NFS to share
the /home partition.

Thanks in advance,
