If you have all the files in the same directory and you want the final
files named sequentially (rather than with their original numbers),
then you can do this in a simple bash script:

#!/bin/bash
i=1
for file in *.jpg; do
  mv "$file" "$i.jpg"
  ((i++))
done

otherwise, if you wanted something more complex (and/or were wanting
to use a GUI), then I would recommend pyRenamer (
http://www.infinicode.org/code/pyrenamer/ ).
