THIS SECTION IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION (STARTED 2014.10.03)
Preliminary
The preliminary requirement for this tutorial is, that you have managed for the NUC to be up and booting @least into the bios screen (memory and storage well recognised). Since a NUC comes almost barebone (case and mainboard), memory and harddrive (msata) is mandatory. This means as well, that a keyboard is plugged in and an HDMI connection to a TV/monitor is established.
I recommend a haswell based design, since it is superior to the older models in many respects (IRDA built in). I would assume, that XBMC has an appetite for the i5 board, but I have read that the i3 is way sufficient for the day2day use. Don't (!) save too much money - you want the i5 - think about the Aeon MQ5 skin ;_)
So with the shiny bios flashing on your TV/monitor you are ready to go.
XBMC Distributions
There are known prebuilt XBMC dedicated distributions that work quit well on the NUC plattform. I have started using XBMCbuntu If you want to go down that road, please refer to the respective sections: XBMCbuntu OpenELEC
I have started off using XBMCbuntu. The problem is, that the actual version
Native Ubuntu & XBMC (XBMCbuntu do it yourself)
Step 1
Run or install XBMC from USB drive
Windows
hm ... what‘s that ? I can't remember. An OS from the dark side it is, young padawan. ... honestly - Windows for XBMC ? ... fail. And no geek-value either. Only, it might be cool again ...
