System initialisation settings - HELP!

Hi, I just pulled a rather huge update, and RPMdrake has thrown up this change in /etc/inittab in the section 'Default runlevel':

 

(old) 5 - X11

(new) 3 - full multiuser mode

 

I have no clue! I'm tempted to stick with the old, but could that cause problems with a related bit of updated software?

 

The RPM this relates to is initscripts-7.06-49.1.100mdk

5 will take you into the GUI (aka X) at boot (you'll get a graphical login screen) while 3 wile not start the GUI (aka X) at boot (you'll get a text login screen).

 

It won't make any difference or cause any problems. I would stay with the old if you prefer a graphical login screen.
