How do I know if the linux I'm using is 32-bit or 64-bit?
I need to know what the architecture of my kernel is and I'm new to linux, I'd like to know how to figure it out.

Try uname -m
. The command will give you the following output:
x86_64 ==> 64-bit kernel
i686 ==> 32-bit kernel
With this you will know.
Type the command arch
into the terminal. You will receive a result like this ia64
or x86_64
to 64 bits or i686
to 32 bits.
