came out beautifully.

If you are anywhere close to a Home Depot store, they give free
classes.

I strongly recommend the cement backerboard (Hardibacker). Experience
with a "professional" job laid over linoleum was not good. Eventually
it started to break loose.

Go to Home Depot if possible and take their class.

Better - sign up for a class at a real tile store.

Not Recommended! We had decided to try and do our bathroom floor and
went and took a Home Depot Class. Home Depot advised that if the
Bathroom Floor was "Level" and did not "give" then you could lay the
tile right on the plywood without using a backerboard.

Luckily we found out before starting the job that Home Depot didn't
know their ass from a hole in the ground.
