This will cause the server to switch from runlevel 5 (which includes X) to
runlevel 3 (which does not). _But_ a small warning here: runlevel 3 may very
well differ in more ways that just lacking X. Depending on how your server is
configured you may shutdown some services you wanted to keep (you may also
start new ones you didn't expect).
To further investigate what you server does indeed run in runlevel 3 and 5
study relevant columns from the command: "chkconfig --list".
