Salam, Amin Yuliastanto X restarts because that is what it is being told to do by /etc/inittab. You can hit ctrl-Alt-bksp all day long, and it will continue to bring you back to a graphical log in. If you edit /etc/inittab so that you boot to console or text mode, then the key combination will work for you.

Re: [newbie] breaking out of a gui
You should have six virtual text consoles. Access them by pressing any of the function keys, F1-F6, while holding down Ctrl and Alt. Once out of X, you don't need the Ctrl key -- you can switch among virtual consoles using just AltF1-F6. You can get back to the X console by pressing AltF7.
