Chrome OS has vim preinstalled. I would like to add Emacs in terminal mode. I have not found any leads by searching the internet. My question is:
How I can Install software locally on Chrome OS?
ChromeOS is not derived from Ubuntu.
I don't think you can install any software on it unless it's a pure web app.
BTW, if you wish to have a nice editor to write code try cloud9 (or some other online editors/IDE that gives you powerful options to develop).
Here is a short post I've wrote on the options we have today in ChromeOS: http://greenido.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/web-developers-and-the-new-chromebook/
#Ido It is not Ubuntu, but I do believe it is derived from Ubuntu. It is definitely Linux, and follows a lot of the Ubuntu/Debian conventions. Supposedly you can install qemacs on a chrome os device with the following steps.
Boot into developer mode.
Get to the console with cntl-alt-f2.
"sudo su -" to become super user.
Run "dev_install", which will install the portage package management tools.
Run "emerge qemacs" to install emacs.
That's the theory, anyway. There appear to be some unresolved bugs with dev_install.
ymacs.org looks promising to me
I think the best way to achieve this is with crouton by installing ubuntu itself in your chromebook without a graphical desktop, so you can run ubuntu/emacs/whatever in a regular google chrome tab.
That is:
turn on developer mode
get crouton : https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
install ubuntu raring without X (follow the blog instructions)
install emacs
sudo apt-get install emacs
NB: Give this no-X thing a try, it's much better to swipe between tabs than to switch screens every time you want to use emacs.

Since VS code is built with electron, it's hard to run VS code in browser.
I saw there's a project (https://github.com/spiffcode/ghedit) making thing for that. But it's out of date. Is there any other active projects doing the same thing?
Or is there any other web-based IDE including file explorer, tab management, and git version control?
https://github.com/cdr/code-server
This project allows you to run vscode in the browser.
The editor component of VSCode, called Monaco, runs in the browser.
Sourcegraph is also based on VSCode. It's not really an editor though, as files are read-only and it's used for viewing the contents of GitHub repositories.
One option is Cloud9. It's open source:
https://github.com/c9/core
I've written some instructions on how to use it as it can be a bit finicky.
One VSCode-based web editor to keep an eye on is Theia. There are docker images available to give it a whirl.
StackBlitz, Online VS Code IDE for Angular & React.
Also checkout https://github.com/theia-ide/theia
You run it on a remote server, and it provides you essentially a cut-down, self-hosted version of vs-code, that is accessible in the browser:
You can give it a try extremely quickly with docker:
docker run -it --init -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next
If you don't want to host the editor yourself, you can try https://gitpod.io. It integrates well with GitHub, and you can add language support through custom Docker file.
GitPod uses Theia internally.
MS Just announced VS code for the web called Visual Studio Online

I am currently using Windows Powershell with Git I am mainly developing websites but I have noticed some developers like to use Putty Wanted to get some of your thoughts if its needed if I am using the PowerShell already since its a ssh.
Sounds like you are confusing the both. PowerShell is a shell environment for windows. Putty is a terminal emulator, mostly used for SSH and Telnet. Perhaps you are reffering to Cygwin, which is a Linux "emulator" which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.. Cygwin ships with Bash, but you can choose to use whatever shell or package using the installer.

I have perl script for scraping which uses WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and firefox addon MozRepl.
Now, i need to deploy it on a web hosting server. The problem is that the they don't provide any interface or UI terminal so that i can launch firefox and launch it from there .
Can anyone tell me a way to install MozRepl addon in Firefox from the shell or by any other means
You can use the python tool used, CFX, to develop the SDK and addons to automate installing of addons. In the future, we'd like to be able to install addons with the Firefox binary command line flags

Yes i have used TightVNC server/viewer to connect to server with GUI, and then installed the required modules using the interface.

Our team is starting to use Vagrant for development on Mac OS X machines so we can better simulate our Red Hat Enterprise Linux production environment. Our operations group says our Red Hat License only covers instances being run on our VMWare cluster. How do other people deal with RHEL licensing using Vagrant?
We were in the same situation and decided to use CentOS on our developer boxes. https://www.centos.org/
I downloaded basic rhel server I found online and built a vagrant box with Packer for use in Vagrant/Test Kitchen. I'm forced to use various other repositories (CentOS/EPEL/RPMFusion etc) instead of the RHN repos which I don't have access to without licensing. I actually wrote a small chef cookbook to write all the custom /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files after initial install. It definitely works for a dev environment. If you have access to different ISOs then you can built whatever versions of rhel that you need with Packer.

Have you tried this?

Have you also checked the developer subscriptions?

There is a blog specifying how to use vagrant with RHEL... but I can't post 3 links :(
Here is a proposal (I am using this approach since I am also working with rhel vagrant boxes for running ansible scripts)
Create a red hat developers account here (click on register).
Download an rhel vagrant box from here (you will have to log in with your previously created account.
Fire up your box and ssh into it.
Follow these instructions to register your vm

I want to switch my OS from Windows XP to but as a software developer I am worried about that will I able to install/run the development tool successfully [Software like: Visual Studio, Sql Server, PHP ... other related tool].
Which OS will be the best subsitute for the Microsoft Windows XP/7, from a developer point of view?
This really depends what platform you want to develop the software for. If you are writing Windows programs, Microsoft makes great developer tools which of course run on Windows. The effective tools to develop Mac software are (no surprise) available on Macs. So there's really only a choice if you're targeting cross-platform or Linux. You can use virtual machines to construct whatever testing environments you need, so the main choice is your preference.
Since you sound like you are interested in experimenting with new environments, I would suggest you try Linux. I primarily use Emacs with GNU Global and GDB in Linux to do all my development, and I have benefited from other tools like strace and Valgrind. Eclipse is also available, and I hear it's nice. Since you're used to MS tools, I'll warn you that the open-source stuff isn't as polished or as integrated as MS's stuff appears to be, but it's certainly capable.
Well, if you need Microsoft-based software, such as Visual Studio and SQL Server, the best choice of OS will probably be a Microsoft one...
After that, you might want to run some Virtual Machines, for PHP / Linux development.
