# Fact: osfamily
#
# Purpose: Returns the operating system
#
# Resolution:
#   Maps operating systems to operating system families, such as linux
#   distribution derivatives. Adds mappings from specific operating systems
#   to kernels in the case that it is relevant.
#
# Caveats:
#   This fact is completely reliant on the operatingsystem fact, and no
#   heuristics are used
#
