Starting Gnumeric from another *NIX desktop
If you run a UNIX-like operating system (called *NIX in this
manual) such as GNU/Linux, GNU on some other kernel, or a
commercial UNIX (TM) system, or if you use a commercially
distributed version of GNOME, of the KDE (K Desktop
Environment), or of a similar desktop system, you will have to
find a way to launch Gnumeric
yourself. Hunt around the menus until you find something named
"Gnumeric", possibly with the
icon and then click on that menu entry.
On UNIX-like operating systems, Gnumeric requires the X window system to run.
