Maybe I'm making this too hard on myself.  Does anyone know how (in
ubuntu specifically, but any linux workaround will do) to set up a user
so that when they log in they just get a command line?
    

Easy, boot the machine to runlevel 3.  Every one who logs in will get a 
command line.  For those who need a gui, stick a startx command in 
their .bashrc file.  This probably won't solve your problem though...

  
Actually, that would have solved it, but I figured it out.  it was as simple as just setting different screen defaults for different workstations.  I should have thought of that myself. 

ws001 gets startx and telnet.  ws002 gets just telnet.  easy as pie.
