Out of the box, it's a content management system. But it is a

party extensions are available for free download), so you can build an
e-commerce site, an electronic publication, a corporate intranet, or a
special-interest information resource based on it.

where does it fit on my server? (debian/apache2/php5/mysql)

functionality not provided by Joomla should be developed either as a
Joomla extension or as a bridge to another application.
