Whats the best way to connect 2 24 port switches, unmanaged? IS there a rule to follow? or can any port from first switch connect to any port on the 2nd switch?

If they have uplink ports use one of them. If they are auto MDI-MDIX you can use a straight through cable on any port.
If there is no uplink and no auto MDI-MDIX, use a crossover cable.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
