It sounds like on slackware, Emacs works without colors, while RedHat has its version and/or terminal set up for text-mode colors. One way of forcing Emacs to not use colors is to set the TERM environment variable to some terminal that doesn't support colors. (A future version of Emacs will have a command-line switch to disable color support on text-mode terminals.)
