Ubuntu 10.04 - tips - boot in graphic mode

I'm trying Ubuntu (finaly...i wasn't a big fan...but it's growing :)

I installed Lucid Lynx, desktop version, but i'm using it as my second workstation, so i wanted to "tweak it" a little bit.

To boot in text mode, i did some search and found that Ubuntu desktop is configured to work in graphic mode in almost every runlevel

So we can config grub to boot in text mode:
edit /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

add "text"
to the options.

And i also stopped some services:
/etc/rc2.d/
# mv S70bluetooth K70bluetooth

I must confess that the package management of debian based systems is the best (in my humble opinion)

I'm very impressed with "apt-get" ;)
