It installs as a daemon, it normally starts at login, it does NOT appear in the menu.
If you did a "sudo service sabnzbd start" it would start if it wasn't running.
Normally you connect to it via the web page, localhost:8080 and set the config up there.
I have been using it for the past year with no problems, I like it as a nzb downloader, I just drop them into a folder or it picks up my RSS feed form nzbs(dot)org.
