ansible_facts.distribution (aka ansible_distribution) and ansible_facts.os_family (aka ansible_os_family) are just 2 diff sets of data.
For example on Ubuntu, family will be 'debian' while distribution will be 'ubuntu', sometimes they can be the same (i.e while using debian) but they are meant to indicate specific things that are different. As to when to use them .. that depends on your context, what distinction is needed. -- ---------- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
