Thanks. I checked it out and the whole process seemed a little more
complicated than I want to get into at this time. I tried checking out
their videos etc.

My wife and I just bought a house and were in the very same
situation. Didn't feel like taking up the luan et al. At our
previous house, we had completely redone the floor, using new flooring
and laying tiles on cement board. With this new place, that wasn't
really an option we felt like going through. So when we were hitting
up Home Depot & Lowes, we came across this stuff:

We were able to retile our upstairs bathroom in maybe four hours, not
counting the time it took to rip up the old linoleum and to remove the
trim. It's more expensive than cement board, and you'll use more
mortar because of the way it works, but holy crap. It's lightweight,
easy to cut... the ultimate test will be seeing what it's like in two
years or five years.

P.S. I like ceramic tile, and I would do that if I it didn't involve
having
to take up the existing plywood or Luan underlayment. But, from everything
I've read here and elsewhere, I don't think ceramic tile over anything
that
is there now would work even though the existing linoleum is very solid.
