I am looking for something like gedit to use with my amazon linux ec2 instance. I am quite a bit of coding and would prefer the graphical environment over using vim. I am coding mainly php and javascript.
I am not using gedit as the package is not found by yum. I know that I can add the repo, etc. But I am hoping for something that is in the standard repos.
I am hoping someone could provide something like the below command with blah being what ever programs I need to install.
yum install blah blah blah
Use SFTP put and get commands from your cmputer, or set up filezilla on a folder in your computer(same protocols just pretty graphical interface) to sync with items from that folder to a folder on your EC2 instance.
Assuming you have ssh access to your linux instance on amazon - just use sshfs to mount the remote code directory and use whatever your preferred local poison is.
Not that I think this is a sensible approach; the suggestions in the comments make far more sense.

can some one tell me what linux distribution is better. Linux mint or Kali linux?
I think this question doesn't belong here, but I will try to answer it. Almost every distribution is suitable for programming, since you can install all the tools you want in every distro. Pick a distro you are comfortable with.
If you are just starting out and are unfamiliar with linux, I suggest trying out Ubuntu or Mint. I don't have any experience with Kali linux, but according to the wikipedia article it is aimed at digital forensics and includes wireshark, nmap and other network tools. Again, these are tools you can install in every linux distro.

I create a web server with Node.js. I'm using the Express framework. The database is MongoDB.
I want to host web server on a Linux machine. I don't know how to make the decision between the different Linux distributions, such as Debian, Unbuntu or RedHat.
My questions are:
What is the main difference of the different distributions?
Which factors should I take into account?
Which one is better for my requirement?
What is the main difference of the different distributions?
Nothing. (As long as running node.js is the only concern)
Which factors should I take into account?
Whether any unresolved issues are yet to be addressed by node.js.
Which one is better for my requirement?
I would consider Ubuntu, as it's popular & bugs are addressed faster due to shorter release cycle.
I'm using it in Debian. Rock solid!
In your case it also complies with the clever tip that Joachim Isaksson gave you - use whatever you're familiar with.

I need to use Linux for Web Development, I also want to manage a Linux server. So which is the best option for me:
Use one Linux distro for programming, and another for server.
Use one Linux distro for both purposes, if so, which Linux distro is good for both purposes?
Anybody can give me some suggestions?
I can advice you to use debian (http://www.debian.org/) for both development and production environments but this is my own preference.
This is the classic question where everyone has their own opinion and nobody wins...
Ubuntu it's easy to use, you can use apt-get to install basically everything you need.

Just starting to learn linux and I have an Amazon EC2 server running Ubuntu 11.10. I'm trying to learn node.js and get a simple game server up and running. My home machine is Windows 7 so I'm using PuTTy to SSH into my EC2 server. I was wondering what IDE would you guys recommend?
I like NetBeans a lot and this is my preferred IDE for php, but there is no node.js project type and little support via plugins.
I'm not a big fan of Eclipse since it seems more complicated than it needs to be - but if that's the best I'll use it - currently I have Eclipse for PHP Developers (Helios) and Indigo - which would be best? Do the versions really matter?
Intellij IDEA is always worth a look. It is my personal favorite.
WebStorm is a paired down version of InteliJ that focusses just on Javascript rather than Java, went through a dozen IDE's and text editors until I came across it - integrates with the Node server to enable breakpoints, debugging, etc. Only $49 for a personal version.

I like Sublime Text 2. It has a lot of great plug-ins for Javascript (JSLint one is a must have) and I find that it stays out of the way when I'm just trying to get work done. It's also multi-platform so you can have a consistent editing environment across all of your machines.
You can try Microsoft WebMatrix a tool from Microsoft. You can find further details # http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

I want to build a new desktop environment for linux like KDE or GNOME, not that much complex, i just want a new windowing system, a new desktop, just like that with some simple functionalities.
But the problem is i don't know where to start. Is it possible to use toolkits like Qt or wxWidgets for this purpose or should i start from anything other? I can program in languages c, c++, java ...
Is this X11 or X Window System have any relation with this. Can anybody tell me where should i start.
Desktop environments on Linux consist of many interconnected components. You should start by reading about how existing desktop environments work: what components they contain, and how they work together.
The information you need is on the internet. Look at Wikipedia (for example, the Desktop environment page, Windowing system and X Window System pages). Look at freedesktop.org, and its Specifications page. Google for other information.
The fact that you're asking questions about whether X11 or X Window System has any relation to this task indicates that you don't yet have a good understanding of the main software components of a Linux desktop. Luckily, that problem is easy to solve: you just have to do some reading.
