    Amazon EC2 has their own Fedora-like Linux distribution (http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/). This distribution isn't recognized by platform.linux_distribution():

    >>> import platform
>>> platform.linux_distribution()
('', '', '')
    $ cat /etc/issue
Amazon Linux AMI release 2013.03
Kernel \r on an \m

    Tested on Python 2.6.8.

    Adding 'system' as one of the supported distros does the trick.

    >>> platform.linux_distribution(supported_dists=['system'])
('Amazon Linux AMI', '2013.03', '')

    Simple patch attached.

    The patch adds 'system' to _supported_dists in platform.py. I've no idea whether or not this is acceptable.
