Did you even attempt to search? Had you have googled it you'd have found it.
Anyways, here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
I think he means a flashable zip. Anyway here is the thread you're looking for (might want to try searching the forum next time).

Sorry, I'm a noob. I just got my N5 and switched over from iOS like 2 days ago lol. Still getting the hang of everything and learning.
Can you direct me in the path of enlightenment?
thanks lol

A sticky thread is a thread stuck at the top of a forum. This is nothing to do with being an expert. This is common, internet language.

[Q] This is probably a dumb question but here it goes

Since I am rooted, when Lollypop comes out will I be able to get the OTA or will I have to flash a ROM? If I can get the OTA will I have to re-root or will it all just work?
Thanks in advance!

thats probably the most asked question in android, ever since the g1 got rooted. and after ever single update, that question gets repeatedly asked, over and over.
