You don't really need bootcamp to launch an older version of MacOS X.
Just create another partition with the version of MacOS X you wish to
use and then you can switch to it using the 'Startup disk' system
preferences. Heck, if you still have a PowerPC based system you can
even use that to boot into MacOS 9.

In order to run Java 6 on my Mac, I've decided to investigate using
Leopard's Boot Camp to run another OS so that I can have Java 6.
As upset as I am with Apple, this is a much cheaper short-term
solution than purchasing new hardware.
Since I have only 1.5 Gb of RAM on my iMac, I'd rather not run that
other OS under VMWare, especially not when I'll be using a memory
intensive application like NetBeans.
Dual-booting is a real pain in the ass, but I've done it before on
my PC (Windows and Linux).
I heard that people were able to install Linux on the Boot Camp
beta, but I have no idea if this will work on Leopard Boot Camp.
I'm well aware that Apple only officially supports Windows
installations. I simply want to know if it will work or if others
have tried it.
I also need to decide whether to install Linux (probably Ubuntu) or
OpenSolaris (SolarisExpress Developer Edition), which is a decision
I won't take lightly.
For several reasons, including product activation, security, and
privacy concerns, I've ruled out using Windows.
