I've been using Seamonkey 2.0.4 on my Linux Ubuntu and like it a lot.
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I presume? That comes with SeaMonkey 2.0.4.
Then today I got the message on my Seamonkey home page urging me to upgrade to 2.0.5. So I followed the link to download the tar thingy, and extracted it. This created a folder called seamonkey in the Home folder, which now contains lots of extracted files and folders (the previous 2.0.4 didn't do that - it must have tucked itself away somewhere else - the seamonkey directory in the home folder is new).
SeaMonkey comes in different forms, depending on platform and, in case of Linux, distribution. On Ubuntu you have at least two possibilities: Go with the packages provided by Ubuntu (currently version 2.0.4) or installing packages provided by the SeaMonkey Project itself. The latter is often (like here) the more current choice, but needs a little more knowledge to install and set up initially.
If you extracted SeaMonkey from the downloaded archive to your home directory (or anywhere below that), you can then just launch it from there (e.g. /home/youruser/seamonkey/seamonkey) and use the built-in update mechanism to keep it up-to-date (Help/Check for Updates). The latter is not available if you use packages provided by Ubuntu.
Now what? Presumably it needs installing so that 2.0.5 runs instead of the current 2.0.4, but I don't know how to do that, and I can't see any instructions in the website download area.
