I wouldn't call this "beginner" but some useful stuff nonetheless. Some of the points could use some justification or a reason to do it, eg using 127.1 over 127.0.0.1.

While during ping test, its faster to type 1.1 instead of the full 1.0.0.1

Right, but my point is that that wasn't explained in the post, and it's not the only thing in the article that is stated as "you should do this thing" without telling the reader why.
