6 <p>Separate mode is an alternative front end for local and remote virtual machines. Separate mode is based on the <userinput>VBoxHeadless</userinput> front end but uses the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> user interface to control and display virtual machines, rather than an RDP viewer program. The VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension (VRDE) is not required for separate mode.</p>
7 <p>Separate mode enables the guest graphical user interface to easily attach to and detach from a running VM. Users with several running VMs can use separate mode to display the required VM, while keeping all other VMs in the background until they are needed. </p>
8 <p>Separate mode has some security advantages, compared to using the <userinput>VBoxHeadless</userinput> front end.</p>
