Installing

You can install Seamonkey from

1) Ubuntuzilla:
http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/

This is the home of the Ubuntuzilla project, which is a python script that allows the user to install the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla SeaMonkey, and Mozilla Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntuzilla has a support forum on the Ubuntu Forums in the 3rd party projects area, which you are encouraged to use if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

2) Mozilla Projects
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/

There is:

Linux (x86)
Full Installer (14 MB) Download all of the SeaMonkey components and then specify install options.

Lauch; Seamonkey will start in the konsole:
