Ubuntu will most likely recognize it; debian won't, but you can make it work by editing the /boot/uEnv.txt file and changing the 720p60 to 1080p60. Don't bother with adapters, unless you are forced to.
Get yourself a 'good' powered usb hub. Make sure that it does NOT back power... it should be four port, and capable of 2.4A minimum. If you're going to use a keyboard|mouse combo or trackpad combo from Logitech, you will not need a powered hub. You will need a powered hub if you want more than two usb ports, are going to use an external hdd, or usb sticks, or mice (trackmarbles) that have laser diodes in them. It is safe to plug the powered hub and the PineA64 power in at the same time as long as the hub does not back-power. Check the specs, and test it!
I use Samsung SD cards; but, your c10 Kingston cards should be fine... check them with the tester to make sure they are genuine; some SD cards are fake and will drive you nuts.
I don't know if the debian and ubuntu distros are regularly updated (too new to tell)!
Hope you enjoy your board!
