  1. If you download sublime text 2 from here, you will get Sublime Text 2.0.2.tar.bz2

    After unpacking archive with command

    tar xfvj Sublime\ Text\ 2.0.2.tar.bz2

    you will get directory Sublime Text 2, go to dir

    cd  /path_to_dir/Sublime Text 2

    and start text editor with command

    ./sublime_text

    If you want to start text editor only with command sublime create sim link in /usr/bin

    cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /path_to_dir/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text sublime

    This link will allow to run text editor with command sublime

    First part of problem is solved.

    Exporting X Display via ssh you can have with option -X

    ssh -l username ssh_server -X

    With this command probably you will get your text editor in you display.
