I've heard of playing music to your plants, but to your computer? ;-)

Do they all have the same NVidia code (i.e. from *them* not a
repackage)? Also, do they all have the same X code? I'd be guessing
that there's a few variable factors.

I've never heard of that. But Phil talked about depending on how you
*installed*. If you installed using text mode, FC has 3 as the default
runlevel. If you installed graphically, 5 is the default runlevel.
Post install, you'd have to change it, yourself.
