Debian doesn't do a lot with runlevels. 0 (should be obvious :-) 1
(single user) 2 (normal use) and 6 (reboot).
Places to look are 'man update-rc.d', 'man init', 'man inittab' and
friends.
Some other distributions use runlevel 5 for starting X-windows, but
Debian does that at runlevel 2, using a normal init.d script (assuming
you are running [gkx]dm).
Also, no: startx will not change runlevels. X will normally be started
by /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm which should be symlinked to /etc/init.d/gdm (or
kdm, or xdm ...).
Regards,
Andrew.
