If you don't want X to run, boot in run level 3 instead of run level
5. That is one of the reasons for having different run levels. There
is a GUI for doing this, but if you are going to be running from the
CLI all the time, you may as well edit /etc/inittab and change
id:5:initdefault to id:3:initdefault. You could also edit
/boot/grub/grub.conf and add a 3 at the end of the kernel line you
want to boot into run level 3. This will let you deside at boot time
 if X starts. There is also an option during install to set if you
want the system to start in run level 3 or 5. (I forget the wording
- something about starting it the graphics mode.)

One the system has booted, you can use telinit to change run levels.
But you don't usually want to do this on a server, because it
restarts most of the daemons.
