On the Debian-User list, Red Hat's configuration is not necessarily a
solution - as mentioned elsewhere, runlevels 2-5 are identical on
Debian, and if you feel that method must be used, you need to switch to
Single User, and then back to a preferred multi-user level (unless the
runlevels have been locally customised to create one that doesn't run a
display manager.)
