there's the easy way, and the hard way. The hard way is to navigate your distro till you get to the part that says graphical boot up. The easy was it to (as root) go into /etc/inittab, and change #default runlevel from id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault, or vice versa.

On a running system, you should be able to change runlevels by typing init <runlevel> without the brackets. As root, of course.

I.e.: Init 3

Init 5

Etc...
