It all depends on what shape the lino is now. If it has a pattern that will eventually show up thru in to the tile. If it is a smooth surface lino with no tears or lifting areas yes you can put tile over top. Adhesion to the smooth surface of the lino might be a problem. You can rough the lino surface up and glue the tile directly but it's not really recommended. Most lino has a slight cushion which will allow the tile to move and can over time crack.
Two recommended ways to put the tile down are remove lino (lots of scraping/sanding of the floor) down to the concrete then prep floor for the tile or remove smooth surface of lino and glue 1/4" good one side plywood down over top and then prep for tile.
