Use the RTL function GetAppConfigDir(True) - this will normally return
'/etc' under Linux and any Unix system. GetAppConfigDir(False) will
return a directory that is writable for any normal user (no admin or
root rights required).

Also take a look at GetAppConfigFile(). This might even be better than
the above mentioned function.
