Save your updates!

Speaking of the package files put in /Library/Receipts, make sure that you back those packages up somewhere. If you're like me and have a dialup connection, if you ever have to reinstall OS X from the CD you'd have to run the software update control panel again and wait for update package to download again. If you make a backup of the update packages then you can just re-run them if you ever have to do a re-install without having to download them again.

Those files are not the full update. Look at the file it is only around 500Kb while the update is 4.1 MB.
