    Drop to your terminal:

    Code:
    uname -m
    32 bit version will output i686
    64 bit version will output x86_64
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

    In the terminal, type:

    Code:
    uname -a
    This will show information about the current kernel.

    For example, it may output:

    Code:
    Linux Desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
    The important part here is "i686", referring to a 32bit OS. A 32bit OS can also be given the form, "x86".
    For a 64bit OS, "x86_64" would appear.
    Everything that has a Beginning, has an End
