The finished product will look like this:

Full tutorial after the jump.

First of all, start off with a document with a width of 100 pixels. Do this by pressing CTRL+E, typing in 100 in the width box and any value in the height box (Just how high you want your gradient to be, I'll be using 300 in this tutorial).

Okay, we have an image with width 100 and height 300 now. Now fill the background with a color, I chose blue. Then draw a diagonal line from one of the corners to the opposite one, Like so.

The diagonal line is there to ensure a smooth, linear, transition from blue to yellow. Now hit CTRL+W and scale the width down to 1%

Then press CTRL+W again, fill in 500%, do this a couple more times and you'll end up with a nice, linear, gradient.
