VBox has a headless mode.

This is something I can't do with VBox. Sure you can. Maybe not as easy as in VMWare but still. Use headless mode as hinted by someone else and the trick is to start the VM detached from the terminal like this: ~ $ nohup VBoxHeadless --startvm VMname & and use e.g. rdesktop to access it. It works locally too... If you have more than one VM remember to specify different tcp port for each. -- mrg

You can log in via any "remote" desktop protocol... you can view that as always meaning "remotely", but I find that works fine for locally as well. Just an idea... |
