The OS is written on a microSD card. If you selected a pledge that comes with a microSD card that has Android,
then you just insert that microSD card in the Pine64 and boot it up.
It is possible to use your own microSD card and write on it the available Android image.
There are special tools to write such images on the microSD card for Windows, OS/X and Linux distributions.
At the moment there is an Android image (beta).
In addition, there are two preliminary Linux images, Debian and HypriotOS (for Docker).
At the moment, those Linux images are experimental, and are running the latest version of the Linux kernel.
The Pine64 does not have VGA output. You can get an adaptor to convert from HDMI to VGA.
In a few weeks you should receive an email from Pine64 (through "BackerKit") to select what options to enable (extra boards, peripherals, etc).
One of the extra options is an HDMI to VGA/AudioOut adapter. Check the Kickstarter page for a picture.
