    im going to rip my hair out!

    i dont know what im doing wrong... so im browsing around trying to find ways to fix my SuSE 10.0 to run perfect... (like every linux user always raves about ) and i come to see there are dependencies for packages? okay so i hear to use smart package manager... google it... now that site tells me to do

    Code:
    $uname - m
    to see if im running 64 or 32 bit, i have a 64 bit processor but im clueless about which version im running.. then i get this!

    Code:
    bash: -m: command not found
    AAHH! what am i doing wrong?! thanks for all the help it is GREATLY appreciated.

    there shouldn't be any 'space' between '-' and 'm'.

    uname -m

    uname -a
