We have a old Cisco 3524 switch and also some Linksys SLM2024s. My question is. Should I dasy chain the switches togeather or have the SML2024's going right into the core Cisco switch?

Besides the obvious issue of creating a single point of failure, it is likely that the uplink to the Cisco switch will get over-subscribed, even if it's a gigabit uplink.

This way you're putting the load on the core switch where it belongs and not simply increasing the load on each upstream switch.
