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

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.
edit: I see Marc answered with pretty much the same explanation.

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...

Settings about legacy? UEFI?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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

They're kinda pricey compared to enclosures for normal SSDs. Expect to spend at least $30, and more often than not, $50-60.
I have a Samsung 960 EVO 500gb still in the box because I don't have an enclosure yet.

I'm beginning to see that -- and the fact that there are at least three different connector formats, so it's best to buy the cards first, and then the enclosures to match.
You might be lucky on price, though, because it looks like this[^] could be right for your one (if you're willing to wait a few weeks for delivery).

The good thing about standards ... and so on.
I had my university education learning networking from the first edition of the Tanenbaum book that expressed this lament, years before it became a commonly known adage. For those without access to the book: Tanenbaum made the remark to those very minor, yet very significant, differences between the HDLC link level protocol and IBMs SDLC line level protocol.
Personal note: I decided to give up my belief in SCSI as a future standard when I had to pay aorund USD 60 for another SCSI cable for the ninth SCSI plug in my computer setups, and the guy behind the counter said "You are lucky - there are fourteen different SCSI plugs, all defined as 'standard'".

Got my mSATA/M2 to SATA/USB adapter for either AUD$20.00 or AUD25.00, the shop had them on the shelf.

Don't you have an mSATA/M2 to USB adapter in your kit bag? I have one in my laptop bag at all times along with several other adapters that come in handy.

2.5-inch SATA SSDs all have the same cable interface. For the nVME SSD's you can get an appropriate enclosure for those as well. All you have to do is be mindful of the connection type and what type of drive it is (there are apparantly three types, and two? connector types).
I'm assuming that the drive in question is a standard 2.5 inch SATA drive.

My Dell laptop has an M.2 SSD, so be aware that it is a different connection (ssd is like a horizontal card that slots into a connection on the motherboard and they come in different lengths).
