How to find Oracle client patches on Metalink

If I want to find a server patch I just enter "RDBMS Server" select the OS and patch level, and hit search. Makes perfect sense. However, I am trying to see if any of the client components have been patched. I would expect that I should be able to enter "RDBMS Client", but I can't. Instead I see options like SQL*Plus and I don't readily see any patches for that. I have in the past used the server patch to patch the client to correct issues, even though I could never find a client patch. So this means they must be fixing client components and only including those fixes in the server patches.

So, does anyone know if the 10G R2 client has been patched and if so how do I find it without having to download and apply the server patch, which I am not even sure will work in 10G?

Also, can Desktop Edition be patched?

Thanks,
Ethan
