The system I like best is SWIGS (http://swigs.sourceforge.net/). The gallery it produces uses no CGI so it's great for burning onto a CD. Plus, disk space is so cheap, I don't see the usefulness generating the different image-sizes on the fly. But, you have a lot of choice; there are probably over 25 programs that create Web galleries.
(Currently, it doesn't support reading the EXIF data out of digital-camera produced files, but I have a patch that I'm going to try to send the author soon.) Michael
