Does it matter/Is it better to follow the Sony Developer website proposed command to unlock the bootloader?

They give
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x<key>

the -i option is for specifying a custom USB vendor id

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.
Code:
alias fastboot="fastboot-android"
Not sure it will work if you're using sudo though...

thanks I did try an alias and I can run for instance
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
Code:
which fastboot-android
Then you can run this to make the link
Code:
symlink /path/fastboot-android /path/fastboot
Replacing path with the path. You might also need to chmod +x on the symlink.

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'

For the record : no, aliases won't be inherited.
