Yes - we got this message already.  No need to send it twice - 
mail takes time to get around the list.

To go to a text login, try Ctrl-Alt-F1.

To stop the graphical login altogether, try removing the software 
that's starting it:

# apt-get remove gmd xdm kdm

Also change your default runlevel back to 2 unless you have a 
good reason for leaving it at 3.
