I did not see an answer to the X part of your question so here goes.
With "Redhat systems", i say redhat because slackware is different, you
need to edit /etc/inittab as follows;
change
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
Make sure you have the following at the end of the file.
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
You may want to check and make sure all the daemons which you start in
runlevel 3 (/etc/rc.d/rc3.d) are started in runlevel 5, (/etc/rc.d/rc5.d).
If you see deamons in runlevel 5 which you dont want, just remove the
symbolic links.
