...via the debian-friendly method

	update-rc.d remove xdm

preferably.

also, to get to the console even while X is jogging away, just
CONTROL-ALT-F1 (or F4 or F2...) and to get back to X, you can
alt-f7 (or control-alt-f7 -- control isn't necessary unless
you're already within X).

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #25 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Did you know you have MORE THAN ONE CONSOLE to use? There's six,
by default: try Control-Alt-F6 to see console six, Ctl-Alt-F3 for
console 3, and so forth. (If you don't use the X window display
system, you don't need to include the control key.) Each console
can have its own login, running its own jobs. Very handy!
