The recovery mode or the single-user mode doesn't suit your needs? If you don't want GUI every time you boot (but want services like httpd, ftpd, ssh, etc. to run), then you can stop GDM from loading by using the method I mentioned on my last mail (there are other ways to do it as well).
I think you're confused about runlevel 3 or the multi-user text mode provided by other distributions such as Red Hat, but Ubuntu/Debian works in a different way. Here, runlevel 1 = single-user mode, and runlevel 2 to 5 = multi-user mode. If this doesn't clear up the issue, then please reply, and if anyone else on the list has anything to add, then please do.
