I remember it used to be that in Linux, you could set the 'runlevel' to determine whether it automatically started in the desktop environment or not (I think runlevel 3 was to start up at the console, and runlevel 5 was to start up in the desktop environment; specifically, to launch XFree86 on startup).  And I remember being able to exit out of XFree86, and also running 'startx' to run XFree86 again.  Is that not the case anymore?
