You can use drywall nails (ridged) or drywall screws. I am not a drywaller, but have done lots of it and prefer the screws.

How do you start your second piece of drywall?
I'm not sure what you are asking. On walls you just put the tapered edges together and screw or nail it in place. If you have to end butt two pieces you do the same thing. If you have a long wall and are laying the sheetrock down, I would stagger the end joints at least one stud.
What is the standard spacing of a stud wall?
Typically 16". You'll notice on a tape measure that 16" is highlighted. This is the distance from the side of one stud to the same side of the next stud (e.g. from the left side across the existing stud to the placement of the next one.) The actual void between studs is a little less (14 1/2). This is so sheetrock/plywood falls evenly on the wall.
