It stands for "Return Material Authorization" and means that you get a number to stick on your broken hardware you want to ship back to the vendor for repair. If you're running something not included when you bought it, or on a usually very short compatibility list, then most vendors I've encountered so far are _very_quick_ to tell you that you broke the hardware because you used non-approved software, and/or that you need to verify first if your hardware is also broken under their pre-installed crap, and file a bug stating the kind of breakage with their pre-installed software (usually).
