Does anyone know of something REALLY simple? As in, using nothing but a directory hierarchy, CSS, and possibly some Javascript?
I don't want a web-browser upload interface, I don't want server-side image resizing or rotating, and I don't want to care what server-side software is available (particularly not a database). I just want to drop some images on dumb web host and be able to look at them without having to explicitly follow a separate URL for every image -- or drop a couple of extra files in a directory full of images on my disk and hit a file:// URL to see them all.

--- I have a DLL that runs under .Net V2 that does just that. One catch you need .Net Version 2 and IIS. Hit the *.aspx page and you get nothing but thumbnails. Click the thumbnail you get the full image. Requires nothing but a flat file system. No database.
Downfall: It does not like Apache or the Mono Framework. But I suspect you want something else?

Well, since somebody mentioned dot-net, I think I'm entitled to say that Apple's iWeb does the above ;-)
Personally, though, I use gallery2 for most purposes. It has a Java app that you can use to upload hundreds of images at once. Well, as "at once" as your upload bandwidth allows.
The setup is really simple. A lot of open-source apps nowadays come with "installers" that ask you about the database etc. Gallery2 does that, too.
I don't see why anybody on this mailing-list should be incapable of mastering this task.
You just upload the unpacked gallery2 directory to your webspace, create a db and a corresponding user with phpmyadmin and enter those details into gallery2's installer.

Well, using and configuring a database is not something you learn while you go, at least not me. That alone is my main problem with db-driven galleries. Also, since this gallery will be exposed to the world, the db will need some tweaking as well, so as to not be open to anybody. FWIW, I've now more or less committed on Gallery2 and intend to sort mysql out, only it takes time, even years until I can handle my own there. There is a learning curve to put it mildly. 8-}

Vi and some manual coding? ;-)
Seriously, if you just want to have them available, just drop the files in a folder and allow directory listing on that folder. See http://home-skynet.servehttp.com/images/privata_bilder/VFR-Forum/Muffler if that is what you mean?

Interesting. The pics, are they kept in a straight up folder-structure or something?
