Bug Description

The Platform identification for Enterprise Linux changes based upon the clone used.

For example CentOS is:

>>> platform.linux_distribution()
('CentOS Linux', '7.0.1406', 'Core')

And no doubt Scientific Linux, etc. will be different again.

If it's not 'Fedora', then just checking whether /etc/redhat-release exists should be enough to identify Enterprise Linux. Then check the relevant major numbers.

I'd like to make this configurable, and for the list of things to be a list of regex expressions.
