OSX Leopard Server Update on SSE2 machine

I've installed a Server version of OSX 10.5.4 by using Leo4all Server on a pretty old machine. Here are the specs:
-Intel P4 Willamette 1.5Ghz
-Compaq D3D OEM motherboard (Intel chipset)
-384Mb PC133 SDRAM
-TNT Riva2 VGA
Despite this ridicolous hardware, everything is working fine and rocksolid; network, audio and video (no QE/CI, of course) worked just out of the box.

By the way, I was wondering how to update my system. Of course I can't run vanilla, so i used an SSE2 prepatched kernel. Thus, here is the question: what are the differences between Server edition and "normal" one? Can i use, for example, ideneb prepatched combo updates? I couldn't find nothing specific for Server edition in the OSX86 scene.
Any help could be much appreciated.

Acer Aspire 5220 MacBookPro (10.5.4)
AMD TJ43 dual core Sempron nforce 560 SATA controller
NVIDIA GeForce 7000M

Make a back-up of your Kernel Binary and your Extensions, install Disabler.kext and fakesmc.kext v2 for Leoaprd and remove dsmos.kext or AppledDecrypt.kext (depending on which you use). Then run the Systemupdate.

Back-Ups on Terminal:

sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /back_up
cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /Ext_bak

Once your'e done up-dating you need to boot your System using your old Kernel Binary - enter "/back_up -v" therefore on the bootprompt.
If you want to continue using your old Kernel, you should install back, old system.kext & seatbel.kext from your Extensions Backup to avoid problems.

Good Luck!
