Noted. To clarify, will dropping back to runlevel 3 still ensure a 
smaller set of processes that would be as non-intrusive as if I had 
installed Linux with console/command line support only or would there 
still be stuff hanging around that's inextricably there because I had 
_at one time_ installed and run the GUI?
