This isn't necessarily true: not on all laptops users reporting them
have successfully installed a free operating system, implementations of
restricted boot might prevent it (e.g. in future when there will be ARM
systems supported by free distros).  The "can free operating systems be
installed?" field was added for this, so users know what laptops to
avoid.  Should the second sentence be shown only if this field is set to
"yes"?

There is no router category yet.  Would it be useful when such devices
need specific support from the distro running on them?
