Yes. You can either set up passive checks using NSCA or NRDP, or you can also monitor the linux server using SNMP, but that requires that the snmpd service be installed and configured on the client linux server, and requires configuration as well.

There are no definitive docs for working with Nagios and SNMP, because SNMP is a complex beast and most setups require customizing the config in ways that require you to know about the SNMP protocol. There are many how-tos scattered about the web, however. To start with, you could give
this one a try.
