Is this really what single user mode is for? I haven't used it, yet. And
how do I switch or boot into single user mode?

I see it the other way round, because I still see no benefit from
starting daemons in the background. In fact I only saw regressions.

And under Gentoo I once tried to start the login manager before some
other scripts and only got problems with xorg. So xorg should be
started as the last application, if the user doesn't know what he is
doing.
