Thanks for the reply.
Yep, I've already been doing that in a playbook, I just wondered if it was
possible to do using an adhoc command. That way I can quickly run a command
to say, list all machines running CentOS or all machines that are HP or
based on any other fact.
I guess the answer is that the filter parameter of the setup doesn't
currently allow for more than matching on a fact name.
