open the /etc/inittab file:
# nano /etc/inittab
search for this line:
id:3:initdefault:
change to this
id:5:initdefault:
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
as you can see to make your linux server start in GUI, is easy, you just have to know the runleves
if you want to change it back from GUI to command line, just change the id value to 3
