If you want to simply make HTML galleries from a directory, you could try 
using Konqueror. Go to the directory that contains the images you want to 
make into a gallery, the in the Tools menu, select Create Image Gallery. You 
will be given some options, like what size you want the thumbnails to be.

Then you could just replicate the directory (with the images and the thumbs 
folder, of course) on your web server.
