Beryl is something to do with the 3Ddesktop, I don't know how to set
this up, but my guess is that it has something to do with your settings
programs. Flash is the flashplayer plugin for your browser. It just
means you can view flash content on the web. 3Dchess; sometimes when you
install a program it does not turn up in the menus. esp games. It is a
bug in the package. you can add it to your menu manually using
system->preferences->edit-menu (I think that's it in Gnome, I use Xfce4
at the moment). But in the meantime try 3Dchess in the terminal. Or if
that does not work try
apropos chess
and look at the list of programs it comes up with. It should list
3Dchess and it's proper terminal name. eg the right case for all the
letters.
Good luck,
