Re: How to determine if my linux m/c is having 32 or 64 bit Kernel.

These answers are OK, but they only give you the version of kernel you are RUNNING, not actually what hardware is installed. (Using the suggested steps you could be running a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit hardware platform and never know it!!). You are better off doing a `cat /proc/cpuinfo` to look at details of your CPU(s) as opposed to relying on a uname.

Just my .02.

Hi Rahul ,

The command "uname -a " should give u the kernel version number
and info abt whether its a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. A 32-bit kernel
usually has the number i386 or i686 & 64-bit has the number x86_64.

Thanks,
Raghu.
