Except that many people run a 32-bit OS on their AMD64s so it really depends on what kernel he's running. uname -a and looking for the processor type would be a better indication: mark@lightning ~ $ uname -a Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux mark@lightning ~ $ So this is a 64-bit kernel running on a 64-bit processor. However I have a chroot'ed 32-bit environment on the same machine: lightning ~ # uname -a Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux lightning ~ # The 32-bit area runs Java, Flash, win32codecs, etc., successfully. The 64-bit does not. CREDITS: Many thinks to Billy Holmes and others on the gentoo-AMD64 list for helping me with this. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
