Well 'lynx' is a good text based browser but you really need to install
X.  If you do something like (as root or sudo)

# aptitude install kdebase, x-window-system-core

Then as user:
$ startx

it should get you started.  You may find trouble configuring X and you
need to check out the log which I think for sarge is:

/var/log/XFree86.0.log

look for (EE) lines - that will indicate which interface is giving you
trouble.  To change configuration:

# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

and change the offending setting.

To browse the web:

# aptitude install mozilla-firefox

to find an interesting cms try 

$ apt-cache search cms
 
We use joomla
