Linked Server and Remote Server

Hi,
What is the difference between Linked Server and Remote Server?
Thanks,
AlanHi,
Linked servers are best for heterogeneous subscribers - provided an ole-db
provider exists for them.
Remote server are only available when you are replicating to other SQL
Servers.
Note:
Remote servers are for backwards compatability. You should use Linked server
from SQL 7.0
Thanks
