I'm not sure if this is right but I suspect it means token ring. In a unix based operating system the cards would be labeled in /dev as ring0, ring1, etc. Here is more information:

It might also refer to the Protected Mode privileges in an x86 processor.

Could it be the sounds of your telephone ringing? Just kidding...
I have not idea, it would be interesting to actually find out what it means exactly. FUN

Ring0 was the Beatles drummer. He actually died quite early in their career, and they replaced him with clones - Ring1, Ring2, Ring3...
