When I was younger, I was a real darkroom rat. I spent inordinate amounts of time doing bas-reliefs, posterizations, solarizations and any other process I could get my hands on. In going digital, I made a smooth transition to the keyboard and am continuing my exploration of these processes, which of course is much faster in the digital domain. My prior experience, though, I think, helped me a lot. I use Linux/GThumb/Gimp/Bibble as my tools. I hope you enjoy the results.
