I know pretty much nothing about them, and I was wondering.

What's the difference between

"Intel Core 2 Duo - 2400"

and

"Intel Core 2 Duo - 1860"

I'm looking to buy a laptop, but I don't know much about processors and I want something that's decent and will last me a couple years.

Well, basing it on the numbers, I'm guessing that the "Intel Core 2 Duo - 2400" is much better than the "Intel Core 2 Duo - 1860" because it must have more ghz than the "Intel Core 2 Duo - 1860".

They are both of the same processor line, except one can do more calculations per second than the other. "Intel Core 2 Duo - 2400 means it's an Intel processor, under the Core 2 Duo line (processor family), and it's speed is 2400MHz, which is how many calculations it can do per second. The same goes for the other processor, except it does less calculations per second. There are also other factors that affect performance, like the FSB of the processor (the speed the processor "talks" to the other parts, like the RAM and hard drive). L2 cache is another factor, and depending on the code-name your processor uses (for example, Merom is an Intel codename for the first generation Intel Core 2 Duos for laptops, succeeded by Penryn, with more L2 cache and higher FSB speeds).

Generally, using the specifications given, the "Intel Core 2 Duo - 2400" should be faster, if 2400 is the speed in MHz. But if you aren't going to be doing high-end gaming or demanding video/photo applications, then you won't really need the increase in speed. Most basic uses should not see a huge speed increase.

The higher the clock rate, the more power it will consume so keep in mind the faster one will have a lower battery life. I would say the 1.86GHz one would be just fine for the next few years.
