When you boot into your Linux desktop, what do you see? If you are using the desktop version of most Linux distros, such as Debian, Fedora, or Ubuntu, you are going to see a display manager, or, more commonly referred to as a “login manager”. While these have a use, especially if you are someone who has multiple graphical interfaces that you switch through on a regular basis, for many people, they may as well be useless. So, if you would like to skip the hassle, and get right into your X session as fast as possible without any fancy GUI, I will show you how to remove your login manager, edit your .xinitrc, and then start Xorg.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
