The difference between 3 and 2, 3 has nfs 2 does not. Yes you could set
the default runlevel to 1 this however isn't general usefull, only get one
login, two if you background startx or something. If your looking for a
runlevel to customize my choice would be 2 or 4

0 = halt
1 = single
2 = no nfs
3 = nfs
4 = umm you know i forgot, does this one even have a real purpose?
5 = XDM
6 = reboot
