Chances are getting the appropriated graphics drivers to work with Yocto will also be difficult and probably won't work out of the box.  All the NUC's peripherals might work if you install Ubuntu - but I'd even give that a 40% chance of failing to support everything you need for your home theater computer.

First of all, sorry for top-posting in my last response!
Tom, I had no idea there was a NUC BSP - very cool.
Brian, if you get a NUC Yocto should have full support for it with the NUC BSP - try it out!

>> But if you're not planning on this being a home theater PC, by all means, have at it!  If Yocto has issues now, many of them will get fixed eventually as more of the NUC devices come online.

>> Just my 2 cents.
