I can help alittle, i just started using Kubuntu linux its based off of ubuntu but has more fun stuff in it... I just started using it some im new too but my friend is really good at it. So I'm sure he can help...
Look for an app called Gaim, if you're using gnome, it will be under Applications -> Internet. Gaim is a client for many chat protocols.
As for installing software, exe's are of no use, you can use .deb's - but I would stick with what's available in the Ubuntu repositories. You can add third party sources and all of that can be found browsing the Ubuntu forums.

definatly stick with ubuntu stuff, i converted a .deb for ubuntu (slimp3 actually) and it did not work well at all. found out later that the app was available thru apt!
anyway, here are some useful commands:
from a terminal
sudo apt-cache search <search term>
this will find progs, like if u do sudo apt-cache search vnc, it will find all packages that have nvc in it
sudo apt-get install <package name>
this will install the package. try sudo apt-get install ssh, it will install ssh so u can ssh into ure machine from anywhere!
