Linux itself is based on the command shell, i.e. text interface. Ubuntu Server could easily provide this. It is based on Debian Linux.

To see websites you need to have some sort of GUI. there are many flavors of live cd's that are designed to be run straight from the CD, no hard drive at all (but they can be). One of the most popular is Damn Small Linux, but there are many others. If you're new to linux, these might be difficult to configure and use.

My favorite is Xubuntu Linux (based on ubuntu). It's designed to make computers of the windows 95 era perform quickly enough to be acceptable today. The install itself is light weight and easy. Ubuntu's forums are top notch if you have any other questions. You can also view websites in text form thru the Command Line Interface (CLI), but you need a program the will do this, Debian & Ubuntu Come with one named lynx and others can be installed. To use lynx open up a terminal & type:

lynx url_of_website

then press the enter key on your keyboard, as it is mouseless.

What is the comfortable Linux OS for offline use or use without internet connection?

There is no reason why a Linux OS (of any distro) can not be used without an internet connection. Provided that either an Linux type OS is downloaded and written as an IOS on a CD (for one example) to be used as a live CD with the options of trying or installing. Or you have been given the install disk, so not needing the internet! There are many operating systems and therefore, many opinions on what distro is the "best"! Have a look at Linux Mint or Ubuntu - my choice!
