How does this differ from sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ then sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

It doesn't differ, but personally I prefer to install each component individually.

What's important and worth knowing:

To uninstall your lamp-server you would probably enter something like this:

sudo apt-get remove lamp-server^

Unfortunately, the above command removes also openssh-server (you can’t login to your remote server via SSH without it).

To uninstall the most important packages of lamp-server you should enter this command:

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server apache2 php5

And if you want to completely uninstall your LAMP, try this:

sudo apt-get remove apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 libapr1 libaprutil1 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysqlclient15off libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libpq5 mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 php5-common php5-mysql
