I need to virtualise Ubuntu 24/7 on my Mac. Is there a lite virtualisation piece of software that allows me to run it discretely? I do not want an interface... I will manage via SSH... I have been using VirtualBox but it always insists on having a window open... can I run a guest OS as a service?? VMWare server looks suitable but it's not available for the Mac... :-(

VirtualBox is still your friend. You can launch the VM's headless.

Try running the following in Terminal.app:

VBoxHeadless --help
