Quick googling: http://www.techienote.com/2012/01/disable-gui-boot-in-ubuntu-11-10.html Basically you need to use update-rc.d to remove the 'lightdm' (for new ubuntu distributions) graphical login links from the system startup. All the rest from that tutorial is to disable the ubuntu graphical splash at boot. Which distribution are you using, do you know which gui login interface is installed?
