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.
