Rosa Image Writer links confusing on distributions/ page

Just underneath the description of the Rosa Linux distribution, there is some text about Rosa Image Writer:

The placement / layout is confusing: it looks like a misplaced chunk of text from the distribution shown just above it. I think the idea is that you can install any of the distrubutions using Rosa Image Writer. In that case, the text should probably be

  • either above the whole list of distributions, or
  • where it is now, but visually separate, e.g. in a new container div with a different background color, that labels this as "Installation Instructions"

The text is confusing, in either case. Something like this might be better:

I'm not sure that linking to a hunk of software outside of our domain, using http, is such a great idea. Sure, all the Distributions are exactly that, but this is a separate bit of specific software we are saying "download and run this!" Can we mirror it, so we have a "known good" version?
