How do I know if Iam running an amd64 Ubuntu Jackalope

Asked by ogbos

In one of my email to the mailing lists, I indicated that my linux is running on Ubuntu. In their answer, I was queried to say if it is an amd64 Ubuntu Jackalope but I did not know how to find out if it is amd64 Ubuntu Jackalope. I was only able to find that the release is 9.04, codename juanty and uname -r is 2.6.28-11-generic. These are what I found through the command line.
But all these have not attended to the question of amd64 above. Could you please guide me on how to find out the answer.

uname -a should tell you.

Look for i686 (or similar) = 32 bit , amd64 (or similar) = 64 bit

 What I saw is 'x86_64 GNU/Linux'. Is this the same with amd64?

Hello ogbos,

try to type "uname -m" and you will see what kind of ubuntu you use:
x86_64 = 64 bit
i686 = 32 bit

Best regards
