We use the VBoxManage because we want an X-display to drive news feeds
to our students :).
But yep, headless is obviously better if you don't need X.

We have a script which boots the VM using the VBoxManage (startvm)

display) for this to work correctly.
Sometimes the resolution isn't correct when the VM has started so you
might need to set this as well.
With VBoxHeadless you don't even need X or ANY graphics environment
running.
