As Xian said, X-Windows isn't needed, and the less stuff you have on 
your server the better. Besides, problem symptoms show up more 
frequently on remote machines than on the serving machine itself.

If you want to test it out in a browser though, give lynx or links a 
shot. They're CLI browsers and links supports Javascript.
