Safe place for download

Afternoon:

I know this may sound inane, but could anyone direct me to a site where I could safely D/L a Ubuntu/Linux O.S. (.iso). I'm having so much trouble with LM17 (before that it was Ub12.04) and someone suggested a corrupted O.S. Just F.Y.I., I downloaded from LinuxMint homepage. Used Unetbootin to 'load" to USB pendrive. (could there be a problem in that?) This has been a problem far too long( problems constantly within both LM17 and Ub12.04). I'd like to be able to use Ubuntu/Linux but in order to do so, I have to get the O.S. working correctly. I'm seeking someone with extensive/experienced expertise(no offence to anyone intended) with Linux O.S's, PLEASE!!! [HP2000-210...LM17 Cinnamon 64bit]
Thank you:
Rick

Async-Signal-Safe versus MT-Safe

Hi, I am Solaris 9 developer and notice that the documentation does not provide a clear notion of the inherent concurrency in routines defined as "Async-Signal-Safe". Routines defined as "MT-Safe" obviously have the best level of concurrency, compared to normal "Safe" interfaces. I have...

Dear Gurus, I need you to advice or suggestion about the best solution to copy data around 200-300G from serverA(location A) to serverB(location B). Normally, I will share folder and then copy but it takes too long time(about 2 days). Do you have any suggestion or which way should be...

vm86old

VM86(2) 						     Linux Programmer's Manual							   VM86(2)

NAME

       vm86old, vm86 - enter virtual 8086 mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/vm86.h>

       int vm86old(struct vm86_struct *info);

       int vm86(unsigned long fn, struct vm86plus_struct *v86);

DESCRIPTION

       The system call vm86() was introduced in Linux 0.97p2.  In Linux 2.1.15 and 2.0.28 it was renamed to vm86old(), and a new vm86() was intro-
       duced.  The definition of struct vm86_struct was changed in 1.1.8 and 1.1.9.

       These calls cause the process to enter VM86 mode (virtual-8086 in Intel literature), and are used by dosemu.

       VM86 mode is an emulation of real mode within a protected mode task.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EFAULT This return value is specific to i386 and indicates a problem with getting userspace data.

       ENOSYS This return value indicates the call is not implemented on the present architecture.

       EPERM  Saved kernel stack exists.  (This is a kernel sanity check; the saved stack should only exist within vm86 mode itself.)

CONFORMING TO

       This call is specific to Linux on 32-bit Intel processors, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
