I'm assuming you mean how to determine if you OS is 32 or 64.

uname -a

will display information about your kernel and install type.  If it says
x86_64, or ia64 (I think) then it is 64bit.  i386 or i686 means 32bit.

This is mine on a 2650 with ES4 32bit:

Linux gsweetlnx.corp.wildtangent.com 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Oct
18 18:39:27 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Subject: 32 or 64 bit?



I'm running RHEL v.4
on a dell poweredge 2850 with 3.0 Ghz
Xeon processors.

It came pre-installed from Dell.

I am ordering Oracle 10g Application Server
and they want to know if I want 32bit or 64bit.

How can I tell?

Chris
