## Description

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
