linked vs remote

What are the differences between Remote Server and Linked Server
anyone have a good reference page ?Remote server was introduced in the first Windows NT version of SQL Server (version 4.2) and allowed
for execution of a stored procedure on another instance:
EXEC srv.db.owner.proc
Linked server is a more modern concept, and allow for referencing tables on another instance:
SELECT ...
FROM srv.db.owner.tblname
...
Sometimes the term Linked Server is used as a superset of Remote Server (including both above),
sometimes the terms are used in a more specific manner.
