Ok. Is stable not preferable for you? In years gone past, testing was
sometimes considered worse than stable, and worse than unstable/sid,
since sid gets updated more frequently.

OK. Are you sure they were unstable dist problems and not just
learning problems? Anyway, that's why I suggest stable - if you have
need to run testing/unstable, wheezy is a good choice, eg for headless
server type thing...

Which files? which executables? I am not a great mind reader. Yet :)

This is not making sense to me. Why do you want to move executables?
(You are using Debian yes? In which case, just apt-get install your
chosen software, and migrate your configs...)
Short answer: none, just reinstall all files, all executables. That
will be relatively painless. Anything else is going to involve
possibly painful learning experiences :)
Good luck
