I have installed Glest but have no clue how to start it on my Ubuntu.

Would anyone be kind enough to help with this?

On my Ubuntu (Feisty) it is installed in a folder in my home directory so I can start it with...(open the terminal)
cd glest (you need to be in the glest folder before execution)
glest

or you could copy these lines into a text file (shell script) to start it...
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/{my_name}/glest
glest

Remember to make it executable ( chmod +x text_filename )

If Glest is not in your Home folder then you can find it by using...
sudo updatedb {enter password}
to index the HDD (give it a few minutes)
then
locate glest/glest
to find the application. (just using "locate glest" will list every glest file)
