Unlikely. Custom functions run on the master during catalog compilation. If you need data from a local file on the node to compute the correct value for your erstwhile $::am_running_oss fact then changing the fact to a function will not improve that data's availablility. On the other hand, if the idea is that the content of /home/admin/OSs.txt is managed exclusively by Puppet in the first place, then what's the point? The master must already have enough information to determine what that file is supposed to contain, and thus what the fact value is supposed to be. Just set a variable in an appropriate class with the appropriate computed value, and skip the fact altogether. If you only needed the file to support the fact, then dump the file, too.
