I'm not exactly sure how it's supposed to be pronounced, but it's the romanized Cantonese name for this mythical beast (pronounced more like "chee-leen" in Mandarin): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin
From the wikipedia page; "The Qilin... is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a wise sage or an illustrious ruler."
and by doing this, Canicol is bringing Linux to the masses of a country. Ironic.
