E16 is not dead at all.

E17 is currently being rewritten, so the old E17 is dead.

Yes, but E does not include a file manager, panels, browser, or any of
the other DE type things. Eventually E17 will include these.

In the meantime you should use an E16.6 pre-release. This supports using
the panels/fm from GNOME or KDE, so you can launch Konqueror or Nautilus
or whatever.

E16 is more active than it's been for years.

I think Mandrake includes 16.5, which only supports GNOME 1.x and KDE
1.x. So you'll want to install 16.6 right away.

E16.6 includes tools to convert the new menu formats. Anything that
installs standard menus for KDE3/GNOME2 should work once you use them.
