This method works well if you don't use a display manager. I only use XFCE4 on my Wheezy installs, no need for a display manager if the same user is going to autologin in on startup every time.

On the other hand, doing autologin from lightdm is easier to setup, does not require to tinker with inittab (which can generates trouble for inexperienced users) and still allows you to login from the console without starting X...

I would strongly discourage this practice unless you really understand what you are doing...

I think Lightdm is the one i've installed.

I am on Jessie, but to be sure I just did a default LinuxCNC/Wheezy install from the live CD.

Thanks to all!
