Set up a virtual machine (with ssh access) without installing a GUI

Set up a virtual machine (with ssh access) without installing a GUI I'd like to set up a linux environment on a local Virtual Machine to test/develop code before running it on a cluster. I don't need or want a GUI on the VM as all the work I need it for will be command-line based.

I can't quite tell but I assume you want the guest host to not have a GUI (gnome, kde, etc), so just download whatever distro (I like Ubuntu) and install their server version, which doesn't have a GUI.

"For the guest, I use Ubuntu JeOS, which stands for ""Just enough OS"". It is an installation option specifically for VMs.

And I use VMware Server, which is free (as is beer) for the VMware host."
