Where do I obtain Gentoo's public key to verify files?

I'm using a windows box to verify and get the following message:


Code:

C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG>gpg --verify "c:\stage3-i686-hardened-2.4-2007.0.tar.bz2.asc"
gpg: Signature made 05/02/07 19:33:42 using DSA key ID 17072058
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG>


I'm looking to start fresh and dd my harddrives.

want to be sure of the files.

`gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 17072058`

(I randomly chose a keyserver from google.)

Code:


C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG>gpg --verify "c:\stage3-i686-hardened-2.4-2007.0.tar.bz2.asc"
gpg: Signature made 05/02/07 19:33:42 using DSA key ID 17072058
gpg: Good signature from "Gentoo Linux Release Engineering (Gentoo Linux Release
 Signing Key) <releng@gentoo.org>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: D99E AC73 79A8 50BC E47D  A5F2 9E64 38C8 1707 2058

C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG>



anyway to verify the key fingerprint?



I got the key from a second server and verified with the same result.
Key was unchanged.

If I get the same key from multiple servers, it is probably the correct one.

Marking it solved. Thank you.
