Determine Linux Server's Architecture (32 or 64 bit)

I installed the following

• RedHat-Linux-OS-5.3.0.0-01_x32 on machine1
• RedHat-Linux-OS-5.3.0.0-01_x64 on machine2

What command or file can I use to check if the version of Linux installed is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Note that redhat-release does not define whether the version is 32/64.

Solution 1:

To get the current running 'arch' (architecture), run:

uname -m

Capability of your CPUs you can run:

dmidecode

and

cat /proc/cpuinfo

The 'LM' flag should be present in 64bits systems as it represent 'LONG MODE' (64bit Extensions, AMD’s AMD64 or Intel’s EM64T).

Solution 2:

Typing uname -m in a shell will do.
