Try this:
Code:
apt-cache search gtk
Then sort the wheat from the chaff...

for the themes on a different computer with a GUI

why you want to install gtk themes for a terminal install ???????
there is no gui

so on a computer that IS using Gnome 3 or the OLD Gnome2
open firefox to "Gnome-look "
http://gnome-look.org/

Theme are stored in ~/.themes so just down load a theme and unpack it into there, or exract the archive ( most themes are packed into an archive ) and cp the unpacked folder to your tehemes folder, if you wwant the themes to be available to all users they should go in /usr/share/themes, icon themes work the same but go into the icons folder instead of the themes folder.
