In Xubuntu, if you go into Settings -> Mouse and touchpad, there is a
setting to disable the touchpad.

I'm pretty sure you can find one for Ubuntu (Google usually helps).

Alternatively, you can switch to Xubuntu (XFCE4 wm) - I find it much
more flexible as well and thin and fast.  Haven't used straight Ubuntu
since the Unity interface came out, and I don't care for GNOME3
either.  But that's just me (and most other XFCE4 users, even on
Mint).

Hope that helps.
