Piece of cake, especially through Grid Control's Deployment Procedures.  We 
haven't had any problems with July09, Oct09 and i just installed my first CPU 
for Jan10 this morning.  No problems after installing on our applications 
either.
Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 PSU#2
Oracle Fusion Middleware 10.1.3.4 CPUOct09
Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 PSU#1
Oracle OMS Grid 10.2.0.5 PSU#1
is what i've installed them on.  From Windows and Linux to HP-UX.

I'm just curious what the list's opinion is on these from those who have been 
nstalling them - are they truly "low risk" as described by Oracle in MOS Doc 
54428.1, or have you found the reality to be significantly different from the 
ype?  Of course I would always install in a test environment first, no matter 
ow low-risk it is deemed to be, but I'm just curious if people are generally 
inding these to be more trouble than their worth, or if they have gone 
moothly?
I've never applied a PSU or CPU before, but am considering changing my policy 
on 
hat and applying these PSUs either quarterly, or maybe only semi-anually or 
nually depending on the level of effort required and how many bugs I find they 
ntroduce once I actually test it.
I was already in the process of preparing to install 10.2.0.4.2, but I suppose 
I 
ight as well jump to 10.2.0.4.3 now that it's out.  I'm a little scared to be 
hat far out on the bleeding edge, but we'll test thoroughly and wait a month or 
o before putting it in production so hopefully we'll be okay.  I'll report back 
o the list if I come across any major issues.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
