What is a good, ultra light Linux distro for Node.js.
No GUI, Just bash.
Planning to run Azure Extra Small VM instance.
Share CPU core, 768MB memory.
Ubuntu server is even light enough. Than you have a pretty easy / well-supported distribution. As added benefit you have distribution with LTS.
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS is a long-term support release, with support
guaranteed for five years from April 2012

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.

You should give QT of Trolltech a try, its a C++ framework which you can use
to develop nice GUI applications on almost any platform
QT Website
There's a cross-platform GUI toolkit called wxWidgets. It's a C++ library, but it has binding for Python, and possibly other languages as well. It works on all of the operating systems you've mentioned. I've used it successfully in the past, although it has been a while.
