First, that's X or the X window system. Legacy MS Windows is something else. Look yourself. This is Debian, not Red Hat. - Initdefault _is_ 2. - [xwgk]dm starts at runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5. See /etc/inittab, /etc/rc?.d/*dm. And /etc/init.d/README, and references therein. Reply to list, not me. -- Karsten M.
