VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.1.x On A Headless CentOS 5.4 Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun VirtualBox 3.1.x on a headless CentOS 5.4 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Thanks, really nice source as I'm planing to run vbox on my remote server which has no X enabled, currently my servers are all ovz and vserver based, you can check some config details on my blog site http://planet.admon.org/category/virtualization/
I have some exp. with virtualbox based VPS, they're running well, but the performance is not so good... Is there anyone had compared Xen and Vbox?
I am testing it out. Will provide input on how it works out. I have read the Vbox is better but then there is no solid evidence. So far the good points is that it may not be very diffciult to setup and also allows certain features like memory balooning and remote administration
