Best surface for ceramic tiles?

I'm wanting to lay ceramic tiles in my 3m x 2m outhouse. This currently has vinyl sheet over lino tiles on a screeded concrete floor.
Obviously I'm removing the vinyl sheet, but I don't know what surface is best for the ceramic tiles. So these are my questions: Can I lay them on top of lino tiles, which are sound. I haven't seen any adhesive that caters for this. Would I be better laying plywood over the lino tiles first. If so, what sort and what thickness? Or would it be best to rip up the lino tiles & lay the ceramic ones on the concrete. I understand this is an unenviable task, so I don't want to do it if there are satisfactory alternatives.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Remove all vinyl & lino tiles down to floor screed for ceamic tiles to be bedded on.

See this to help you.
 
Thanks for the (very rapid) response. I'd kind of resigned myself to removing the tiles but wanted to be sure.
Thanks for the help once again.
