7.2. Change init level to textual

There is little point in running the X Window System on a server with no screen. Edit /etc/inittab finding the line containing initdefault, such as

id:5:initdefault:

Alter the default from run level 5 (multiuser with X Window System) to run level 3 (multiuser).

id:3:initdefault:

The startx command can be used if an occassional X Windows session is required upon an attached keyboard and monitor.
