Content Management Questions - Favorite?

Hey all,
I'm a complete newby here (and to PHP in general) so go easy on me...

I had a few questions about Content Management Systems in general.

First off: In specific we have a client that is interested in taking a static HTML site that was just redesigned and putting a content management system behind it. They are adamant in that they want PHP and MySQL.

Now, as you can imagine, they do NOT want to change the look and feel of the site but they do want to replace deprecated HTML (e.g. <font>) tags w/ appropriate CSS markup. They want to manage ALL content including images.

So to the nut of the question: Is there a content management system out there that is:
1. easy to integrate and set up (on Unix)
2. easy to use (for non-programmers)
3. built on PHP run against MySQL
4. inexpensive (read: free if possible)

Any ideas / suggestions would be very greaty appreciated. What's your favorite CMS? (built on PHP of course!)

Thanks much,
