Recently I have started using VMWare Workstation 8, this is really cool and seem to function better than VirtualBox.
If you setup a virtual machine and set it to be shared, you can make it boot up with the Windows OS, hence this could be a headless sever hosting a Linux OS.
You will need to log in as the Administrator to set permission to allow your own user account to use the shared VMware server. Once you have done that you can make any virtual machine boot up as a shared virtual machine without having to be logged in to Windows.
