Three-button mice are pretty common amongst Unix
workstations,
especially those using the "X" window system. I'm not sure
what
functions are usually bound to the third button in those
environments.

Essentially, copy&paste. I can be wrong, since I would have
to boot in Linux to check, but you mark text dragging with
one button and paste it where you want with other (one of
those used is the middle button).
In Linux text mode you can do something similar.
