He already typed "uname -a" which gave him all the information he could 
wish for in this case. In particular, the output told him that his 
kernel was a 64bit kernel.

It is possible to run odd combinations of a 64Bit kernel and a 32 Bit 
userland. However, to the best of my knowledge Ubuntu doesn't support 
that. Hence, we should assume that he runs 64Bit userland. Hence, 
apt-get installed the 64bit openjdk.
