None of my Linux laptops and only one of the wireless desktops boots to
runlevel 5.
That seems a very strange setup.
Do you mean you use text mode all the time?
A lot.
Incidentally, this is a very ignorant question,
but what do you mean when you say that
one of your three laptops is acting as a relay?
A router. It sits between two networks, routing traffic between them.
Why a laptop? It's available, I have a more recent one that's nicer to
use, it's got the hardware needed, and I already had it.
Is it unusual? Well, I have a desktop here doing the same thing.
