Good question: within the user population, what fraction uses A4 and what fraction uses US letter?
Given SUSEs European roots, I would venture a guess and say there probably are more SUSE-users in Europe than in North-America and Canada.
But who knows, aside from the SuSE sales department?
You have to set the time zone explicitly, so why not the paper size?
Perhaps because timezone varies a lot more than paper-size? But it's a good question - I'm sure the default paper-size could be set under YAST somewhere.
I believe you can -- but you should be asked explicitly to set it when you do an install. If the default were US letter, you'd want that question asked at installation, wouldn't you?

I have to admit i fail to see what is so difficult about setting your darn paper size when you set your printer up you get the chance to set that to whatever you want .. As for %of users on A4 i would not be at all surprised if it turned out to be 70 30 in favour of A4 as A4 is the standard for the vast majority of the planet .

A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you are actually being fucked. from GSM
