Re: i386 or AMD64 - Which is currently running?

Depends what you mean.  The answer may also be "both" depending on what
you care about.  E.g. many of my machines run an amd64 kernel with an
i386 set of Debian binaries running on top of it, and some of them also
include a few Debian amd64 binaries.

`uname -a` tells you what kernel you're running.
`file /bin/sh` should tell you what that executable uses.
