Hi,
the goals seem to be different enough.
Facter tries not only to gather certain pieces of system information, it
also strives to
a) serialize them into a canonical format and
b) do everything platform independently (for supported platforms, i.e.)
Facter has absolutely no capacity to supply a command for retrieving a
given fact on any machine that does not itself have facter installed.
That's because facts can and should have lots of ruby code around the
system level invocations that can process the output.
So no, I don't see them overlapping much.
Cheers,
Felix

A friend pointed out that I may have been reinventing the wheel: My
specs project is very similar to Puppet Labs' facter. What do you think?
