I'm trying to execute a .sh file, but its opening in gedit. I permitted it to be "executed as program", but it's still not working. I'm on a machine running Ubuntu 14.04LTS.

Can you find "Run in terminal" in the right click menu, under "Open with..." or so? – Volker Siegel Oct 14 '14 at 22:36

Maybe I should try Linux Mint, Ubuntu is too slow when launching programs – David Zavalla Oct 14 '14 at 22:42

Should be enough - except it's used up by a misbehaving program. Still, it's the wrong place for this discussion. I did not see an obvious duplicate question, so you could ask another one regarding slow program start. – Volker Siegel Oct 14 '14 at 23:02

Setting the "executed as program" permission is not enough as there's a global Nautilus preference that alter the behavior when you click on an executable text file.
Open the Nautilus Preferences (Edit -> Preferences) and select the Behavior tab:
Select the "Ask each time" option to get the following popup when you click on your .sh files:
