Under features, the first bullet point is "Dynamically linked userspace." Can someone say what this means? How is this different than a userspace made up of dynamically linked utilities and shell?

It’s not different, but it’s a feature that this is included vs only supporting static linking.

That makes sense. I misinterpreted that point. That is indeed an important feature and one that's easy to take for granted. Cheers.

Libraries are shared by programs and refrences to library routines are automatically resolved at program load time.

How is this different than regular "dynamic linking" where ld-linux.so resolves symbols and loads the shared objects?

Yes, it is the same thing.
