means you boot up in 'x11', aka, 'x-windows'. when you log out of 'x-windows', you return to 'x' display manager prompt. rex boots init level 3, receives login/password prompt. after login, he types 'startx', 'xstart', gnome, or kde to gain 'x-windows'. when he logs out of 'x-windows', he returns to 'command line' prompt.
