I've been using Puppet very happily for the last 6 months

Over the summer I want to knock things up a notch<bam />,
and part of that is going to be supporting a wider range of OSes.
First on the hit list are likely to be Solaris 10 and Suse (SLES).
I know a lot of people do support multiple OSes, just wondered
what sort of approach you've found works best?
Of course at the end of the day it's a question of 'case $operatingsystem'
statements, but I wondered whether you create a dedicated 'os' module,
or whether you structure each module in a standard way, or something
else.
Thanks for any pointers.
I forgot to add- the splitting inside init.pp allows for generic
includes- like you just say include common, and it gets the os-specific
class such as common::solaris through black magic.
