You would need another computer networked to your server to test it. Or
better yet, install the 'ubuntu-desktop' (or xubuntu-desktop) package
using apt-get.   Then you just run the web browser and point it at your
own server (localhost). 

Or you could use a text-based command line browser... Would work for the
basic stuff I guess.  

Or you could download the (X)Ubuntu "Alternate" CD, then add it to your
sources.list and apt-get install (x)ubuntu-desktop from there.

Cheers,
