First find out what version of centos you are running:
more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)


Next find out if your server is 32 or 64 bit
uname -a
Linux server.xxx.com 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.028stab095.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 20:49:24 MSD 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

A 32bit centos installation will show i686 and i386, a 64bit will show x86_64. So in my case I see i686 i686 i386, hence I have a 32bit os.

I’m using Adobe’s Coldfusion 8 in this example.
Lets get the current time. Use the TimeFormat() function with the now() function as a parameter.

<cfoutput>
<br />The time is : #TimeFormat(now())#
<br />The date is : #DateFormat(now())#
</cfoutput>

What will be the release date for Adobe ColdFusion 10? I’m going to guess quarter 2 2012. 12 months divided by 4= 3 months so sometime in April 2012, May 2012 or June 2012. What do you think? A rumor is circulating that Adobe will announce the release date on March 1st 2012.
