Noob question here - and forgive me for ranting, but it's just
KILLING

How do I get the hell out of X? I've become so frustrated with that
damned automatic-restart-x thing that i wanted to resort to violence.
When, out of desparation, I hit ctrl-alt-backspace it keeps reloading
it. When I do that you'd think it would GET THE POINT THAT I WANT
OUT! (arg!.... I feel better now)
Hello, Joel :)
"ctrl-alt-f1" through "ctrl-alt-f6" will take you to a non-graphical
mode, but I think that that doesn't actually kill X.
As root, "/sbin/telinit 3" will take you directly to runlevel three,
under which I believe X does not run.
Have a Great Day :)
