I've updated the ticket with this info already, but for those on the list.

Here are the facts which mention suse on an OpenSUSE and SLES, and a
SLES for vmware system. Looks like OpenSuSE is missing osfamily which
seems odd. This is the case on OpenSUSE 11.3 (facter 1.5.7) and 12.1
(facter 1.6.0) using the stock facter. Looks like lsbdistid is the
only commonality across the systems.

OpenSuSE:
facter |grep -i suse
lsbdistdescription => openSUSE 12.1 (i586)
lsbdistid => SUSE LINUX
operatingsystem => OpenSuSE

SLES:
facter | grep -i suse
lsbdistdescription => SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
lsbdistid => SUSE LINUX
osfamily => Suse

SLES for VMWARE:
facter |grep -i suse
lsbdistdescription => SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
lsbdistid => SUSE LINUX

The ruby library path from the stock package depends on architecture
but will be one of the following:

i586: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/
x86_64: /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/
