Ceramic tile or concrete under linoleum?

I'm having linoleum put in my kitchen and I'm want to prep the floor. We already tore the carpet up and we weren't sure if we should clean the carpet adhesive off the ceramic tiles, or remove the tiles from the concrete.

You are better off ripping out the tiles first. If you really want to lay the hardwood over the tiles, first lay down 3/4 plywood so you have something to staple the new floor to. The ply is glued down with PL, and then screwed into the tiles/sub floor. You will need to pre drill with a masonary bit, and screw in every 12 inches. Seems like more work than ripping the tiles out. And adds an extra 3/4 + tile height + hardwood - how will that transition to other rooms
