VMWare Fusion - any way to run it screenless?

[spaceballl]

Right now I use VMs for hosting test web applications, and I access them via Safari / Firefox in OS X. So I really don't have a need to keep them open. I don't need to see their terminal, etc. As long the machine starts, then I'm happy. Is there a way to close the screen of them w/out them shutting down?

Best solution I can think of would be to hide the program, or minimize it to the Dock. -H will hide, btw.

Hmmm I was hoping of a way to just run it in the background, but I guess +H will do just fine

Or run it in a different space that you don't use...

OPTION-click somewhere else or another app, should hide the app.

There is a way to run it headless. I think you can VNC into it. See here, you want "headless mode"
