Which Ubuntu

[ray9]

I downloaded two versions of Ubuntu 14.04, one 32 bit and one 64 bit. It seems as if I have the two DVD's mixed up. How can I tell which is which?

Ran both versions, both 32 bit. I need more sleep.

You can run the following command in a xterm :


uname -a

If you obtain something as
Linux clara1 3.2.0-70-generic #105-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 24 19:49:46 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
, the i386 says to you that it is a 32 bits release, but if you obtain something as:


Linux discworld 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, the x86_64 part says to you that it is a 64 bits release.
