Interesting. I've used many flavors of Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, various flavors of Linux) and each had a GUI. In the Unix world, the GUI is distinct from the operating system, as opposed to Windows, where it is tightly integrated, so it is possible to install the operating system without a GUI to save precious resources.
As Bauke says, the actual procedures will vary depending on the OS and app server used. Your best bet would be to find out what the company is using and go through the documentation.
There are some differences when running Java on Unix as opposed to Windows. The file path separator and end-of-line character is different, for example. They always seem to trip up programmers who are new to the Unix platform.
