Under System menu, run "Services".

Deselect the "Graphical Login Manager (gdm)" option.  

This will disable the gnome display manager.  Careful though, that may kick
you out of your X session if you're actually sat at the server when you do
it.  If you're on a thin client I don't think you should be affected.
