Thumbs up Operating system Bit verison
How to check the Linux operating System bit version i.e if the operating system is 32-bit verison or 64-bit verison?

There is a file which gives this information, i think it is in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin. I am not sure about this? This Might be a silly question, but it is important.

getconf -a

You'll see many values, search among them. If your system is 32-bit you'll find -m32 switch, if 64 then -m64

Read documentation!

A simple uname -a should provide that information.
