i want to know whether the processor is 64 bit or 32 bit
i used uname -a
[root@localhost proc]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.19.2 #1 SMP Fri May 25 17:05:46 IST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

so can any one tell me whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit

You probably need to use the command "cat /proc/cpuinfo", if you want to check your processors architecture.
