You could remove the "xdm" entirely or, because you might want to use it
later, prevent this service from starting on boot using "update-rc.d" as
follows :

update-rc.d -f xdm remove

When you reboot, you will end up at the command prompt.

You could start it again with :

update-rc.d xdm defaults

The man page for update-rc.d is great.


Cheers,
