Why is it a problem at all?  You can run X at runlevel 3 with any distro
I know of, if you want to, and if you know how.  (hint:  try startx, and
if that doesn't work, try xinit).  Wine will run without X, too, if you
can find an app with no GUI, and change "GraphicsDriver" to =
"ttydrv" in ~/.wine/config
