I didn't see anyone address this question, so I'll give it a shot.  In
RH and SuSE XDM is controlled by the runlevel that init boots to.  There
should be an initdefault entry in your /etc/inittab that dictates the
boot-to-runlevel.  I believe I set mine to 3 to avoid XDM.

If this isn't a solution (I don't use Debian), then you can
remove/unlink the XDM startup script in your startup directories.
