    Welcome to the forums!

    Ubuntu has full documentation with instructions for installing a GUI to their server edition:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI

    Post back with the details if you should run into problems.

    Hi and Welcome !

    You can try command line browser like lynx.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
