 Once your system is up to date and you have created your first user, you may want to configure your system to boot into X by default, with a graphical login instead of a console login.  You can first test that X auto-detects your video correctly by issuing the `startx` command.  If X11 starts and you end up at a desktop, you're probably good to go.  Open the /etc/inittab file, as root, in your editor of choice.  Change the following line: Once your system is up to date and you have created your first user, you may want to configure your system to boot into X by default, with a graphical login instead of a console login.  You can first test that X auto-detects your video correctly by issuing the `startx` command.  If X11 starts and you end up at a desktop, you're probably good to go.  Open the /etc/inittab file, as root, in your editor of choice.  Change the following line:
