Keen - I have seen your videos and based on those I'm sure you can handle it. There's nothing really special per se but there's a bit of tweaking to do on the software side. There's enough help and experience here and on the linuxcnc forums to get you there.
I just did my grizzly lathe in pathpilot. Using the cnc4pc c35 breakout board allowed me to use the tormach flash file and simplifies things.
