The recovery mode or the single-user mode doesn't suit your needs?  If
you don't want GUI every time you boot (but want services like httpd,
ftpd, ssh, etc. to run), then you can stop GDM from loading by using
the method I mentioned on my last mail (there are other ways to do it
as well).

I think you're confused about runlevel 3 or the multi-user text mode
provided by other distributions such as Red Hat, but Ubuntu/Debian
works in a different way.  Here, runlevel 1 = single-user mode, and
runlevel 2 to 5 = multi-user mode.

If this doesn't clear up the issue, then please reply, and if anyone
else on the list has anything to add, then please do.
