Whenever your in the mood for CL interface just Ctl-Alt-F1, login as root and issue "init 3". When the mood has passed issue "init 5" to get back to the GUI. No need to reboot. I usually get my fill of CLI just going to the first console (Ctl-Alt-F1).
Even simpler: type Ctl-Alt-F1 for text mode, or Ctl-Alt-F7 to go back to graphic mode. No need to stop the X server, unless for maintenance, or conserving memory. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
