1) Yes. Rootkits are one example of malware that can be used on Linux.
2) Perl, Python, Java, C, C++, ASM, BASH
3) What type of encryption are you talking about?
4) netstat, same as Windows. Type "man netstat" for help.

You can use G++ for a C++ compiler on Linux.
As far as drive encryption, some distros offer it when you install (such as Fedora). You also have the option of encrypting your drive with Truecrypt.

You can get some rootkits on Linux, but I don't think it's ordinary, more likely rare.

Truecrypt works on Linux, and would encrypt your entire HDD (not just your /home/ folder)
