Unless you've installed Windows using it, you probably haven't actually used
BootCamp at all (well, maybe you've used a tiny part if you've asked it to
resize the Mac OS X partition before installing GNU/Linux).

BootCamp (because BootCamp also needs this classic BIOS), so many people
confused the two.
