Currently, the image files are all called image.tar.zstd/image.raw.zstd.

This tells us nothing about the used distro.
Can we please rename the files, so they indicate the used distribution?

If you use our script to install them, the names follow the format $distribution-$release-$type when installed. I'm planning to rewrite that script to something better but that's what we have at the moment, if we update the image names in the definitions we also need to update the current script, and honestly, I do not want to invest more time on it while planning a rewrite.

@ShalokShalom The filename is generic right now, mostly due to our custom installation script. The script makes installing/downloading boxes and verifying them easier.

If you would like to have unique image identifiers we must work on a new mechanism in our script.

The script was always meant as prototype... On the long go it would be nice to rewrite the whole script in Go or Rust.

I am playing currently with Nim. This might be a nice exercise. Lets see, if I come to it.
