In Ubuntu, if you use the alternate install CD I know that you get a choice when setting up your keymap not to have an alt gr key. The alt gr key is a key that shifts the function keys to be F13 through F24 and it sounds like your install is setting the alt gr key to be your right alt keys then. This can be changed by changing your keymap.
