If I was to Write a virus for the challenge What would I need to do to contain it ?
Obviously I would disconnect the computer from the internet first but what else could I do to prevent the worst case scenario of it making it on to the internet.
Im not saying im smart enough to bring down society but I don't want to go to jail for a weekend project.
Is is likely that my antivirus will kill my virus program as soon as it is compiled ?
What would I need to do to contain it ?
You need to use a sandboxed environment. Perhaps a virtual machine such as vmware or virtualbox that doesn't have physical access to the network.
Is is likely that my antivirus will kill my virus program as soon as
it is compiled
Not really. Antivirus programs are based on signature scanning + heuristics. Your program should be "0-day". So until it does something fishy, it's unlikely any antivirus will ask questions.

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.

I'm new to Node.JS, already Googled for aswers but there is a lot of ways of doing this.
Do you have some sort of math to know when I'll need to scale my Node.JS server? And what tools you use for monitoring server performance and error track?
Thanks!
As #ThiefMaster said, this depends on your system. You need to monitor the requests for your site, the CPU load, memory footprint etc and decide if and when to add mode servers.
If you want to know more about Node.js performance read this good article: http://blog.3rd-eden.com/post/5809079469/theoretical-node-js-real-time-performance
If you need a Node.js metrics library, there are 2 ones which I can recommend: https://github.com/felixge/node-measured
https://github.com/mikejihbe/metrics

monitoring a node.js server
I recommend monitoring your event loop and if it starts to back up more than 200ms on a regular basis, you'll need to scale.

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.
