ubuntu server java
I setup a ubuntu 64bit server, and I want to install java on it, but I want to make sure it is a 64bit version of java. My theory is that the 64bit version of java could use all the memory of my server better. It's just my theory, so maybe I'm wrong about that.
Also, I can't seem to find instructions on how to get a 64bit version of java
usually i use this command to install java
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
but i don't know if this is a 32bit version.
so if there is a way to install 64bit java using apt-get, that would be preferred because I like how apt-get gets all the dependencies.
any ideas?

so is my theory correct that if I use a software package written for a 64bit system on a 64bit system, I should be getting better use, or at least, more use of my memory?Yes, your theory is right in the sense that more memory is available at one time and addressable.

I have 8gb of ram, and in the windows world, 32bit only uses roughly 4gb of ram.
