"Chances are about zero that MS would drop ..." That's what we said about OleDB back in 2012 when they announced that they were dropping it... And of course they had to bring it back last year.
Maybe they've learned?

Just gave this[^] a try and it's pretty awesome. At least in my n00b experience with VS Code (had to actually install it first  ) and Kanban.
I am occasionally impressed with what's there in the OSS community, and Marcel Kloubert's Kanban plugin definitely impressed me for its simplicity, elegance, and ease of use.

Forgive the stupid question but what is it?

My thought exactly.
I clicked on the link and there is no explanation on what it is.
I'd rather be phishing!

Reduced to its minimum, it's like a 3 or more column board where you put sticky notes to indicate the state of a task. Which I find really helpful for keeping track of tasks.
A nice writeup here on CP.[^]

Thanks. I could have done with that back in 1983 when I was running a medium sized project. As it was I drew a free hand CPM chart on a blackboard. And prayed that the cleaners would leave it alone.

Kanban is a type of prodution worflow methodology/theory. It is used in manufacturing and has been ported over to SDLC, etc.

I have a Dell with SSD, is it correct that the SSD is the boot disk?
(Mine is failing to boot, cant find any bootable devices, trying to work out which disk is the culprit)
|
|

|

Start with the BIOS: https://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/enter-bios-dell-18849.html[^] and check the Boot menu - it should list the boot devices in order it checks them. The first HDD should normally be your bootable, and is probably the SSD.
Check the disks menu as well and see if all your devices are recognised.

Both disks are shown in the devices section. In the boot section though it says 'ubuntu' as the first device, then IP4 and IP6 as the second and third.
(It had windows 10 on it from the factory, I put on Ubuntu as the main boot OS, and put windows 10 and windows 7 in grub)
I am running a Dell long diagnostic on it currently, but using the latest Hierens bot CD the SSD didnt show up in disk manager, and in a disk repair tool it was showing as unmounted.
I wounder if the SSD has died...

It is on UEFI boot, always has been, so that shouldnt be a problem.
About the SDD dying, this is what I am tying to establish. If it is the main boot disk then it is odd that a solid state drive should fail.

To check the drive, buy a 2.5-inch usb drive enclosure and put your ssd in it. Then, plug it into another computer. If you can access the files, at least you know the ssd is okay, and you can turn your attention to your multi-boot setup.

You don't even need an enclosure - you can connect a SSD directly to any desktop that has a spare SATA port and power connector.

That's an M.2 device and USB enclosures are available for those too, so you were still correct with your reply OriginalGriff
