I will work on getting the gimp installed, but I just need something
temporary for only resizing and optimizing jpegs.

convert, which is part of ImageMagick, may do what you want. Or mogrify,
which is the same thing except on a bunch of images.

$ convert -size 200x200 -resize 200x200 original.jpg new.jpg

ImageMagick is actually an extremely powerful package. You can use it to
do almost any image manipulation. Of course, resizing is nearly the limit
of my abilities with it. I'm surprised there's no O'Reilly book on
ImageMagick.

My favourite image viewer-converter Xnview is available on Linux as well: http://www.xnview.com/

but if you need PhotoShop6, it is running percfectly under Wine (7, too)

Best,
