This procedure allows you to boot OSX, Windows XP and Linux

Triple Boot via BootCamp
From OnMac.net Wiki

This procedure allows you to triple boot OSX, Windows XP and Linux. It has been sucessfully used to setup a macbook, but is untested on the imac/mini. Therefore if you try this you do so at your own risk.

http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_ ... a_BootCamp

Before you begin you will need the following:

* An Intel Mac
* OSX install DVD(s)
* A non-upgrade windows XP cd with SP2 slipstreamed
* An x86 linux live cd/dvd (I used the gentoo 2006.0 live cd)
* The Intel Mac firmware update (early 2006 models only)
* Apple BootCamp
* OSX 10.4.6 combo update

Please note that this procedure can potentally Destroy all data on you machine's hard disk drive, so make a backup first.

If you don't know how to make a clean back up of your system, you can visit the How To Backup your Mac page.

Check the site for instructions. Although I am totally disinterested
in Apple, I realise there is a big following out there for Apple OS.
