The text console you get with Ctrl-Alt-F1 is often called a virtual
console; however, you got the term right: text console.

Rxvt is an alternate X terminal emulator for Xorg; it's similar to the
konsole or gnome-terminal. There are many X terminal emulators for
Debian. Go into 'aptitude' and search for "x-terminal-emulator"; there
are many options.

You need to see what HTTP headers you lynx browser is sending. I wrote a
script that, when run under Apache, lets me see what HTTP headers are
sent by my browser, and that's how I found how why Google wouldn't
accept Lynx requests.

If that option is a bit too "techy" for you, there are probably some
websites that will let you see your HTTP headers.
