Hi their. What you want to do is edit the default runlevel ID to 3. That will give you a text login screen by default and won't start XDM or whatever graphical login you'd use. Of course, if you have need for an X server after you login, you can either use xinit or StartX. Whatever you like. Its even possible to have multiple displays on an X server. Say for example you wanted to play with Gnome-based applications and you wnated to use Freedombox? This is possible, as I'm doing this very thing as we speak. Hopefully this helps. Cheers, Erik
