Filesystems: ext2 and ext4
Vitrualization: Nope. These are way too small for anything fancy like that.
Addon hardware:
USB2 ports useful for disk and/or flash drives and other stuff (I don’t
do the “other stuff” myself but I suppose there are folks who might).
They have 1000BaseT ports. Two ports on the OpenRD Client, one on the
SheevaPlug.
They each have a mini-USB serial port that they use for serial console.
The Client has a headphone jack. I’ve used it in the past for
listening to streaming radio. The SheevaPlug has no audio i/o.
Both machines have SD-card slots that can be used in booting or as aux
data storage.
Both get their uboot from mtd, not mmc, so updating uboot requires
re-flashing.
The Client has 512MB RAM. The SheevaPlug has the same.

I use the SheevaPlug as a backup DHCP/DNS server for my home network. The
Client is reserved for experimenting.
I don’t currently use NFS on either, but I have in the past.
I’m not sure what you mean by “What kind of compressed ramdisk do you use?”.

In other words, nothing fancy!
Does that help?
