Hi Mark,
Although your remarks are no real question, some comments on them down here:

Once you are logged in using ssh you should be be able to use apt-get or whatever is on there.

That is called a network, so you do have a network. However, do you also have a router?( you say 'switch', but you need some device that routes and assigns ip addresses. probably yes you have one, since you are connected to the internet somehow...).
Then you can just add another computer or laptop to you network and use the browser on that computer. ( how are you accessing this forum?).
>I have no network if by that you mean Apache2 or the like. As I (almost) understand the meaning of: network, that is >some software that acts to serve "objects" between devices.
No, that is a server ( not a network). Apache is a 'webserver'.
Hope this helps.
(and hopefully, which would be the easiest way forwards, you do have some other computer or laptop somewhere,like the machine you use to get to this forum, and you can just go to the webinterface.)
Alex.
