Hi, Fwiw, slave in Jenkins 1.x and "permanent agent" in Jenkins 2.x is indeed the same thing. This vocabulary change is the result of https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-27268 to remove the term 'slave' from Jenkins.
As for your question, I guess there's no general answer. IMO you have to go back to asking you what a /server/ does. Serve something? As for the "slave *server*" term you're using, well I'd be curious if you found that in some docs, since the "server" suffix would seem quite wrong in general IMO.
