LinuxCNC for lathe questions

If you install Andy's "Lathe Macros", you get a set of canned cycles to do all the typical lathe ops, including threading with simple conversational interface. I beleive it works on most of the GUI's.

I of course use Gmoccapy as I like it modal nature.

 I will definitely check this out. I don't suppose there is a demonstration video? 
I'm trying to visualize this, especially WRT the axis GUI ( perhaps that's the problem?), and if I need physical buttons how many?
 If Axis is not the way to go then need to think about touchy vs. Gmocapy.

My hardware can't get here fast enough.

Long is good, lots of information.
This looks like exactly what I was hoping for.
LinuxCNC seems to have every possibility covered, just thrilled I decided to go this direction.

Thanks to all the contributors.

You are welcomed, always.
