I'm just wondering what I should be using to get PHP 5.3 running with Drupal 7 on Linode through Mercury.
Is it possible (and relatively easy) to get PHP 5.3 running with Mercury for Linode?
I'm confused as to what the status of Mercury is currently. Is Mercury 1.2 out yet?
Would this be an ideal Linode setup:
Ubuntu 11.04
Mercury with Drupal 7
PHP 5.3
Also, what's the difference between Pantheon and Mercury? Is Pantheon a hosted commercial implementation of Mercury?
Thanks!

Mercury is an installer for
Mercury is an installer for Drupal that will install a Drupal stack that is well configured for general Drupal sites that will experience decent traffic levels.
Pantheon is a commercial hosting company that use Mercury + secret sauce.
Both are lovely.

Their secret sauce is much
Their secret sauce is much more likely to be in their deployment, billing and management stack rather than deploying a quick Rackspace server instance. You currently get full root access to the server that is deployed so I don't think it is possible for them to have secret sauce in the Drupal config.
So unless you are trying to clone their business the Mercury thing should be good for you

Ubuntu LTS
I would recommend against using Ubuntu 11.04 for the OS. If you want to go Ubuntu you should use an LTS (Long Term Support) release as it'll receive bug and security updates for a much longer period. 10.04 (aka Lucid) is the current LTS release.
