Another way to handle this is to have class-level logic:
class something {
if ( $operatingsystem == "windows" ) { include something::windows }
if ( $operatingsystem == "redhat" ) { include something::redhat }
}
Then put your resources in something::windows, something::redhat, etc.
You may duplicate some code this way, but when the OS'es are very
different you'll ultimately save coding time and increase readability
by avoiding resource-level logic.
