When you said production server it implied something like a rack mount
data center server.  But you mean a machine with a graphics display
and keyboard such as a deskside and it is acting as a server too.
Gotcha.

Probably.  But please do tell us on the mailing list what it is that
you are trying to accomplish.  You asked about how to drop from X
Windows to the text console and I replied with Control-Alt-F1.  As far
as I can tell that should have completely and totally answered your
question.  But I guess not.  I and others on the mailing list will be
happy to help but we are not mind readers.  Tell us something.
