## Description

Fact: operatingsystem

Purpose: Return the name of the operating system.

Resolution:

    If the kernel is a Linux kernel, check for the existence of a selection of
    files in /etc/ to find the specific flavour.
    On SunOS based kernels, attempt to determine the flavour, otherwise return Solaris.
    On systems other than Linux, use the kernel value.

Caveats:
