You could remove the "xdm" entirely or, because you might want to use it later, prevent this service from starting on boot using "update-rc.d" as follows : update-rc.d -f xdm remove When you reboot, you will end up at the command prompt. You could start it again with : update-rc.d xdm defaults The man page for update-rc.d is great.
