Possible to run a Web Server over A Network as if it is a dedicated server??

Being a Linux/network newbie I was wondering is it possible to run a Linux web server on a 2 PC network and connect to it from the other PC via telnet, etc just as if the web server was a dedicated server hosted in a NOC?

I would like to learn how to manage/configure a dedicated server so that when/if the time should come that I get a dedicated server from a Host then I would like to be able to use and run it properlyPossible to run a Web Server over A Network as if it is a dedicated server??

Should this be a possiblilty what version of Redhat Linux is usually installed on dedicated servers? i.e. the basic Redhat or the specific server version?

Finally would it be possible to dual boot with Redhat and FreeBSD on my test machine so that I could learn the 2 main server applications that everyone seems to use?

Thanks in advance for your repliesPossible to run a Web Server over A Network as if it is a dedicated server??
