Just installed Ubuntu on my Macbook (have to admit it's pretty slick) but cannot figure out how to right click without using a mouse. Has anyone been able to figure this out?

Ubuntu ≠ Windows.

theres no Mac drivers for Linux like Boot Camp drivers for Windows.

It's very difficult to do.

The most reliable thing would be pressing F2 (you might need to hold the "fn" button in the bottom left of the keyboard as well).

I found the solution to my question and thought it may be helpful to others. From the Ubuntu Mac forum - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=969876

I cannot vouch for it because I am at work and can't try it until I get home but others reported it has worked. It also allows for 2 finger scrolling I believe.
