I guess I do things a different way than everyone else. All I do on the machines I have that have a gui installed, but I'd prefer them to not boot to the gui, is just rename /etc/init.d/gdm to /etc/init.d/gdm.old. Then the all the links at the different run levels don't see the gdm startup script. Then if I was to fire up the gui all I do is type, as root, gdm and hit enter. Is it an elegant solution? No. Is it easy to change if I ever decide I want to boot into the gui? Yes. All I do is rename /etc/init.d/gdm.old to gdm and I'm good to go.
