You might want to do a search of the Forum for something like "flooring". Folks have used almost everything you can imagine. Squares - strips - sheet goods - glue down - floating - interlock - wood - press-board - vinyl - patterned aluminum - and so forth. I think the only thing missing is ceramic tile and grout. You will also find a lot of info on how to remove the old stuff, clean up the bare surface, level it, install subflooring if needed, prime it, handle the baseboard and trim, work around the appliances (refrig especially) and more.
A big job, but everyone who has done it seems pleased.
