Or as a normal user - startx Then you don't have to switch run levels - which you probably don't want to do on a server (except to switch to run level 1 for maintenance, but that usually done rarely and only in emergency - and often done by rebooting the machine into run level 1) When you use startx - logging out of your desktop/window manager returns you to the cli.
