Let's say I have a folder, and in that folder are a bunch of pictures. Let's now say I want to rename then as 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc. how can I do this? Right now I'm renaming one-by-one, but would prefer a better method.

Download a small program called irfanview, http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm it is brilliant . If you need help with it get this thread moved to "Digital Photography & Imaging" and one of us will give you a hand.

That's a Windows app, I'm on Linux...

Isn't there a simple terminal command that can do this?

Lifting from here

#! /bin/bash

x=0
for fname in *.png
do
  mv $fname `printf "%03x.png" $x`
  x=$(($x+1))
done

Which I believe counts in HEX, but you're free to change that to DEC.
