I just installed virtualbox on my server without X11 support intending 
to run it headless and now I find that the Virtual Remote Display 
Protocol support is only available in the closed source version.  The 
virtualbox Editions page says that some of the closed source features 
may eventually become available in the open source version as well, has 
anyone heard anything about this happening for VRDP?

Are there any other options that would allow me to set up a VM remotely 
without installing X?  I suppose I could set up a VM locally and then 
copy it to my server once it's configured for remote ssh access but that 
would involve copying several GB over the internet, a rather slow 
process on my connection.

Thanks,
Jonathan

P.S. Thank you very much to all who have helped bring VirtualBox to FreeBSD!
