Welcome to LQ!

This thread is not a member intro, so I've reported it to be moved to a more suitable forum. In future, please pick your forums more carefully!

Some googling would answer your questions. Skype has a Linux version and there are several BitTorrent clients for Linux. As for Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash, there is a browser plugin available for Linux, but if you're talking about other Flash products, then I'd assume not. In general, you can't run Windows software natively on Linux. You can, however, look at using WINE or CrossOver to run Windows programs in Linux, or find Linux equivalents of the software you use.

Hope that helps.

Good to hear. You can mark this thread as solved (look under "Thread Tools at the top) if you consider the question to be answered.

Here's a good tutorial on the GIMP.

In addition to Skype, you might also look at ekiga.
