As long as the only linoleum is not peeling or loose go ahead and put the new one right on top of it this way you avoid the risk of asbestos and all the mess of riping up the old floor.

To remove a bubble from a linoleum floor, puncture the center of the bubble with a large, sharp sewing needle. Go all the way through the linoleum to allow trapped air to escape. Press from the outside of the bubble toward the puncture to release the air. Once the bubble is flat, place a soft cloth over the bubble area, and using a household iron, press over the bubble until it flattens. Place a stack of heavy books on top of the bubble for 24-hours to set the linoleum.

What is under the linoleum? If it is stuck down well, you can put new tiles on there once. However, if you get to "the bottom of things," you may be able to fill in any dips in the floor and correct any other issues that will make your vinyl tiles look even better. It will take elbow grease and a crowbar and some major adhesive remover to take off the linoleum, but it can be done. If you choose to tile over the linoleum, make sure it is super clean and free of any grease.
