How do I know it is 64 bit

[j_dog]

Once you install the 64 bit version. Does it state it somewhere ?

arch

I'm sorry. You lost me . What is Arch and what do I do with it ?

[Cappy]

Goto Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal and type (or copy and paste)
arch
If you are running 64-bit it will echo back "x86_64", otherwise it will echo back something else

Type it in a terminal.

[j_dog]

Oh ! I see ! it says i686 . Would that be 64 bit. ?

Thanks !

[Cappy]

You're running 32-bit.

Here's a few commands to show you that you are using 64 bit software.

uname -a

sudo find / -name '*.deb' -exec bash -c "dpkg -I {} | grep 'Package\|Architecture'" \;

file $(which firefox)

Thanks but is there any PDF available or any program which will have all such commands recorded at one place.
