It depends on what you mean by "server".
The typical usage would imply a remote database server.
But it sounds like you are looking to use the Linux system for remote rendering.
If you want the Linux system to do remote rendering, it needs to be a full up Resolve system, and it needs to have shared storage access with the systems sending it the render project and shared PostgreSQL database access with the systems sending it render projects. If you need Resolve Studio level support (like the use of multiple GPUs), the Linux system would need a license dongle. Rendering will utilize both CPU and GPU resources. How much of each depends on source and render file formats and what sort of grading and sizing operations are being done.
Additional details about Remote Rendering are in the current Resolve 14 August 2017 Beta manual starting on page 1232.

Note that Linux ProRes rendering is only available with an Advanced Panel license dongle which is only available with the purchase of a Resolve Advanced Panel set.
