Well,

You would have too different partitions... one for redhat, the other for
slackware.  If you do full installations you'll find you have allot of
the same stuff though.  Then if you want to... you can mount the
slackware partition in redhat and the redhat partition in slackware. 
From there you should be able to run most apps from the other
distrubution... but you'll probably have to compile some apps again
though... for each distrubution.

But I wouldn't recommend Slackware... it's a bit broken... it's not
thread safe... and the x server that i came with Slackware 3.6 is a bit
unstable...
