I was just looking at the sources.list file on our Debian server and I realized we had unstable sources. I would guess that I used unstable in order to get Samba 3, which maybe wasn't available in testing at the time. But I don't know. Anyhow, I would rather be using testing. So, is it rather painless to move from unstable to testing? And what's the best way to approach that?

Change your sources.list to point testing and wait for testing to catch up with you. Conversely, if you feel comfortable, hunt down the packages that have lower versions in testing (meaning that they show up on your machine as being newer than the version in the archive) and downgrade them individually or a few at a time.
Be careful if you decide to do a mass downgrade. Remeber that in unstable and testing package behaviors can change significantly even between minor point upgrades.
