Except that many people run a 32-bit OS on their AMD64s so it really |
| 22 |
depends on what kernel he's running. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
uname -a |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and looking for the processor type would be a better indication: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
mark@lightning ~ $ uname -a |
| 29 |
Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006 |
| 30 |
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
| 31 |
mark@lightning ~ $ |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So this is a 64-bit kernel running on a 64-bit processor. However I |
| 34 |
have a chroot'ed 32-bit environment on the same machine: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
lightning ~ # uname -a |
| 37 |
Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006 i686 |
| 38 |
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
| 39 |
lightning ~ # |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The 32-bit area runs Java, Flash, win32codecs, etc., successfully. The |
| 42 |
64-bit does not. |
