Once booted, you can get to a console with Ctl+Alt+Fn? where ? = nos 1
to 6. Alt+Fn7 returns you to the GUI.

If you don't want a GUI environment you can uninstall it (suggest you
use aptitude - see the manpages)

Finally, if you uninstall (x|g|k)dm which provide the GUI login screen,
the machine will boot to a command line. 

$ startx 

will start the GUI
