Disable Computer from booting into gnome

Question

I have a laptop running Ubuntu Server. I installed Ubuntu Desktop onto it by running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Now, by default, the computer boots into gnome. What can I do to make it boot to a command line again. I do not want to boot into gnome by default.

Solution

You can remove GDM from the startup process. Here are a couple of methods:
