All of the Ubuntu distros have the bottom button as middle click. Gnome 3 apparently has Wacom support and it can be changed in the system settings but you lose it if you log in with gnome classic. Which is necessary for best performance with less horsepower, like my 7 year old machine.
I'm not a Linux geek and can't take credit for this but if it helps anyone else, this is what works for me. I modified a script file to reflect my particular model to "intuos3 6x11", and placed the file in the bin directory. It reads:
In the Startup Applications Preferences I added it and pointed to the location. Now it works like the default setup in Windows and OSX. It is much more natural to hit the bottom button for right click, touching the pad is left click. The top button would be 'middle click' with this setup but one could experiment to their preference.
