Go forth and apt-get install imagemagick. Then when you want to make thumbs out of a folder of jpegs:

cd folder-full-of-jpegs
mkdir thumbs
for a in *.jpg; do (cp $a thumbs/$a; mogrify -geometry 150x thumbs/$a); done

That'll stick thumbs in a subdirectory called thumbs and makes them 150 pixels wide. If you want wider thumbs (i.e. 200 wide, use 200x instead). If you need thumbs restricted by height, use "-geometry x200" to make thumbs that are 200 pixels high. Doing it this way preserves the thumb aspect ratio.

If you need to crop thumbs to make them all square (or all the same size), you're stuck with Gimp
