Workshops and labs for ITESM operating system lecture

This is a template for a operating system lectures ITESM GDL in order to increase the level of knowledge on the undergraduate students of computer science careers. This is plan to be deliverable in a period of time of 4 to 6 months. It is adjustable in time and order; however the expectations and basic topics should keep the essence of the plan.
