then the system will boot up to command line mode (NOT GUI mode) and it'll behave like 90% of the servers out there, but you have the ability to go to full GUI mode when you want by doing:
telinit 5
as the root user.
Or as a normal user -
startx
Then you don't have to switch run levels - which you probably don't want to do on a server (except to switch to run level 1 for maintenance, but that usually done rarely and only in emergency - and often done by rebooting the machine into run level 1)
When you use startx - logging out of your desktop/window manager returns you to the cli.
