Definitions for "Quik"
Linux on Apple Macintosh Power PC systems based on the Old World ROM architecture. It was originally written by Paul Mackerras, and portions of its code were reused in all other Linux boot loaders for Power PC, including the one known as Boot X (not to be confused with the MacOS X boot loader of the same name), which is dependent on the MacOS. Its loader boots from Open Firmware and bypasses the MacOS entirely.
