the decision for php alone is odd imho since the administration work is huge compared to something like plone or zope, php itself gets nearly weekly security fixes for more or less vulnerable holes, but as long as i dont have to be the administrator for it thats fine ... even if you are not doing online banking you really wouldnt want that someone breaks into your system, puts the latest sexually explicit content on your frontpage and deletes all passwords so you cant even get in to revert that without having physical access ... edubuntu is to popular (and be it only through the ubuntu in its name) to take the risk of a open security hole on a webserver, especially in something as insecure as php where even 12 year old kids find the code to exploit a vulnerability within minutes on the web. ciao oli
