is my linux ARM 32 or 64 bit?
under an intel I know I can look at the outcome of uname -m to know if my OS is 32 or 64 bit, but under ARM this gives:
armv7l
I deduced from
file /usr/bin/ls
that I'm on a 32-bit OS, but how can I know this in an easier way?

Why are 64-bit distros often called 'amd64'?
I am downloading an ISO image of Lubuntu; they have two versions: 32 and 64.
But why do they call the 64 version amd64 since they say that it works for Intel also?

How to convert a 32-bit (x86) Debian-based system to 64-bit
I have a 32-bit system which runs on a 64-bit processor. How do I convert it to be all-64-bit, without re-installing? I have seen somewhere that it is doable as a result of the new Multiarch framework.

Running 64-bit Linux with 750 MB of RAM: worth it?
I have a Debian server VPS, and the provider installed 64-bit Debian 5. Should I ask for an 32-bit install, given that I have only 750 MB RAM and I have heard that variables take more RAM on 64-bit systems?
