That turns off almost everything, whereas gentoo=nox does a normal
startup of everything but xdm. Single mode has its uses but it's a bit
of a sledgehammer for this particular nut.
Each of my machines has a no-x run level, which omits services such as X,
dbus and hal but does start gpm, network services and (except on the
laptops) numlock. Saves me quite a bit of typing.
Those are good ideas but I just rarely use these. Most of the time
booting to single is all I need. The emerges run faster too.
