We use different manifests per OS. It makes the underlying logic much
simpler, and is easily called by using either the 'kernel' fact or the
'operatingsystem' fact depending.
For things that are the same across supported Linuxes but different on
Solaris:
include module::$kernel
Where moduledir/manifests contains linux.pp and sunos.pp.
For things that differ between Linuxes as well:
include module::$operatingsystem
Where moduledir/manifests contains redhat.pp, oel.pp, solaris.pp
