It's important only if you have more than 1 phone connected to your computer. Otherwise no difference.

Thanks and then I have another question
I am using Mageia distribution and unfortunately the android-tools there use 'fastboot-android' and not 'fastboot' as the command line ...
And this creates an error message with flash.sh which thinks that I do not have the package installed.
I tried using an alias but same error message.
I tried filling in "FASTBOOT_BIN_NAME=fastboot-android" in the script flash.sh but that did not work either.
I am not that fine playing too much with the script with the limited knowledge I have and I prefer to ask for any advice before trying remove the section checking if android-tools are rightly installed...
so please any guidance :P ?

Try this to create an alias in bash so one command runs the other.
Not sure it will work if you're using sudo though...
Code:
alias fastboot="fastboot-android"

fastboot devices
instead of
fastboot-android devices
but still the script flash.sh complains :-( about the missing android-tools installation:
"No 'fastboot' found in $PATH"

OK, try this to create a symlink (like a shortcut but better)
First find where it is
Then you can run this to make the link
Replacing path with the path. You might also need to chmod +x on the symlink.
First find where it is
Code:
which fastboot-android
Code:
symlink /path/fastboot-android /path/fastboot

Thanks it is running now !
This is great to see SFOS on such device
PS: there was clearly no need for drama about the 'forced to use windows'

They give
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x<key>
the -i option is for specifying a custom USB vendor id
