Your question:

Edit the file /etc/inittab with your favrite editor

Change the line :
id:3:initdefault:

so that the three is now a 5.  The result will look like this:
id:5:initdefault:

Save the file and reboot, or run the command 
"init 5" as root

Linux/Open Source.  Now all your base belongs to you, for free.
