I tried this method too:
http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/override-a-facter-fact.html
It works with puppet 2.7, but not with 2.6.2
[16:41:15 #168 root@:~$ ] FACTER_operatingsystem=plop puppet -e 'notify {
> "We are running on $::operatingsystem": }'
> notice: We are running on Debian
> notice: /Stage[main]//Notify[We are running on Debian]/message: defined
> 'message' as 'We are running on Debian'
> [16:41:32 #169 root@:~$ ] puppetd --version
> 2.6.2
> [16:41:35 #170 root@:~$ ] puppet agent --version
> 2.6.2
