If you set the window to "View by name", select all the files, move
them to the desktop, then set the window to "View by small icon",
and choose "Put away" from the File menu, you will then have what
looks like a unix "ls -C" ( or just "ls" for Berkeley folks ) listing,
except for the little icons. 

This gets a larger number of files displayed per area than any other
view method on the Mac.  It can be very handy when one has a folder
with a lot of stuff in it ( e.g., all the .h files for a C compiler ).
