实际上，我只是在 Dreamhost 共享主机，我将使用它来测试部署基于 MongoDB 的应用程序。有 32 位和 64 位的预构建发行版，但我不知道应该安装哪个，直到我可以确定服务器的架构。
我想这可以通过检测操作系统版本来完成，但我不知道该怎么做。我可以通过 ssh 登录，当然不能以 root 身份登录，因为它是共享服务器。我只需要知道什么命令或命令可以告诉我正在运行什么架构。
有人熟悉如何节俭安装不同的 Linux 发行版吗？我所拥有的信息主要来自 linuxquestions.org 上的一张海报（这里是线程），并且安装在一个特定的发行版上对我有用。
但是我无法找到任何关于这种安装方法如何工作以及如何将其应用于其他 linux 发行版的一般信息。我也对这种方法相对于其他方法的相对优缺点一无所知。
我似乎在依赖方面遇到了一些麻烦，但我自己并不真正知道如何解决这个问题。这是输出：

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

编辑：我只是按照建议尝试了 aptitude 而不是 apt-get。不行，还有其他问题：
