It may also save time and trouble if multiple Macs are to be updated and they aren't necessarily at the same patch level.

Mac OS X Server updates are also available in the same 'flavours.'

Apple also released Security Update 2009-003 for Tiger, delivering the relevant corresponding security fixes for users of the older operating system.

This is available in five flavours to cover the PowerPC, Universal and Intel-only forms of the regular and Server versions of Tiger. Download sizes range from 76M to 204M.

Apple warns users "Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system. You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means."

Backing up prior to installation is also recommended.
