I'd do the following:

1) HostSystem:  01_enum.py  - Enum Linux_ComputerSystem - if this call 
returns an instance, then the enum of HostSystem shouldn't return any 
instances.  Otherwise, you should get back a HostSystem instance.

2) For all other tests the depend on a HostSystem instance, do an enum 
of HostSystem.  If no instances are returned, do an enum of 
Linux_ComputerSystem and use that instance.

Does this help?
