The other bit is that modifying symlinks in /etc/init.d is only mentioned in passing. That is a VERY important step unless your new name happens to be the same as your old one, otherwise on the next boot the system will not have a working network interface, which will hamper efforts to fix for casual/new users, and cause real trouble for those doing remote administration (though anybody doing anything serious on a remotely-administered box should have some kind of console-level access outside of the OS - like serial console or iLO/etc support).
