Raspberry Pi - booting into console mode

By default Raspbian boots into GUI mode. I don't need that. I wanted to change it to boot into command line. In Slackware or RedHat distros I always did it by editing runlevel in /etc/inittab.
Raspbian is different. I did it with raspi-config utility:

$ sudo raspi-config

And then I chose "Boot options"=>"B2 Console Autologin Text console, automatically logged in as 'pi' user"
