You can do this:

#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}


Save as hw.c, then do

make hw

and you should have the executbale hw in the current dir, to run it you may have to do

./hw

so, with what editor should i write my program......?
is there one that can debug, similar to MS visual Studio...?

If you want an IDE, check out KDevelop (for KDE) or Anjuta (for GNOME). Both provide many of the same features that M$ Visual Studio does.

There are a ton of editors, I personally like "vim", You could check out http://anjuta.org/ if your looking for something like MS Visual

For debugging I would say gdb ( try "man gdb" for help )
