To know whether my Linux system is 32 bit or 64 bit ?
Generally, during any software installation, one gets puzzled regarding
the system architecture i.e., whether the PC/desktop is 32 bit or 64 bit
build...
Simplest way to know is here.
Step1: Open the terminal.
Step 2: type uname -a
Identify whether it is i386 or x86_64; correspondingly it is 32 bit or 64 bit build architecture, respectively.
Note: There are many other alternative ways in Linux, to determine the system architecture; but, this is probably the simplest way.

Result for 32-bit Ubuntu:
Linux discworld 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386GNU/Linux
whereas the 64-bit Ubuntu will show:
Linux discworld 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64x86_64 GNU/Linux
