(1) Downloaded .iso file (13.10) from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/th...ase=latest
(2) Created bootable USB stick with UNetbootin and the .iso file from (1)
(3) Updated bios to FW24. (I haven't tried with the latest bios)
(4) Plug in the USB stick, power on the NUC and hit F2 for boot menu.
(5) Now you should see TWO USB stick entries in the boot menu. Choose the one which says "UEFI"
(6) Follow installation instructions.

NOTE: If I skipped step (5) I was still able to finish the ubuntu installation, but it was not possible to boot afterwards.

Hope you succeed! I am very happy with the setup.

Ok thanks. Going to try now. Are you using wifi or ethernet? Ethernet appears to be broken with mini/server ISOs. As a workaround I'm using wifi module from my laptop.

I was using ethernet .
