And I want it running on different hardware - desktops, servers,
notebooks, netbooks, ... - oh yes, even mobile phones and routers.

...I always have difficulties in recommending hardware for new
Linux/Ubuntu users.

I am with you partly. I don't think that Canonical should be really
enter hardware manufactoring. I think it would be sufficient to have
some official recommendations of hardware combinations (maybe which
are specifically tested). There could be shops then following the
specs and build the appropriate machines and getting some sort of
"Ubuntu optimized hardware" or something like this.

But there must be at least one recommended combination of each genre -
server, desktop, notebook and netbook.
