Choose a runlevel that does not use X (I use 2). Rename the files in
/etc/rc2.d/ (if you chose level 2) that start the X daemons (gdm/kdm
or whatever you have installed) so that, for example, S20gdm is now
K20gdm. Edit /etc/inittab so that your default runlevel is 2. You
probably know exactly what I'm talking about.....

Debian sets all "normal, multiuser" run levels to be the same by
default.

By the system admin, who edits the stuff in /etc/rcX.d/ as far as I
know (I'm relatively new to Debian).
