I'm searching one cause I'll get a load of pics I don't want to resize all myself.

Try gallery:

Or Yappa-ng:

If you just want to resize them then using ImageMagic's convert utility can be quick and easy.

What if any GUI do you use, the best OSS program If used is the konqueror file browser in KDE, you just browse to the folder with the images then hit ctrl+I and it ill open a dialogue you enter a few setting and it makes a web page.

Here is and example I made up, note the links don't work sine I have not uploaded the imaged yet but it will give you an idea.

Thanks for the suggestions! Does imagemagick support converting whole directories. There aren't many free hosts that don't have too many ads (as in you can't find your site anymore) with php support anymore I think

But well you get what you pay for but the problem is that it's a free site and I can't host it at home.

I only have xfce4 and fluxbox. Is it plain html then I just might download konqueror just for this.

It writes it as plane html and as long as you have the right libraries installed konqueror should run fine in eather of those GUIs

Not directly but you can do something like this:
mkdir thumbs
IFS="
"
for file in *;do convert "$file" -resize 100x100 "thumbs/$file";done

That assumes you want to resize to a 100x100 image obviosuly.
