Re: SOLVED Setting Run Level
@windcheetah: My feeble attempt at humor relating to xservers has to do weith the fact that (to the chagrin of some of us) *buntu 8.10 no longer has an important file called "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". In olden days, those of us with "strange" hardware (like Kensington multibutton trackballs) needed to modify that file in order to make their hardware work. If you detect a note of bitterness here, you're right. But, I had no business injecting that into your perfectly reasonable question. I apologize.
My comment about runlevels is actually serious. If you read the article that I referenced at Linux.com, you will find that *buntu no longer uses the time honored init program to boot up (for good reasons). Instead, it uses an asynchronous boot process call "upstart". This speeds up booting while guaranteeing that certain software is not initialized before it's hardware is ready.
