Kazoo nailed it. Sponge technique works great for those few with the touch. For mere mortals, plan for lots of sanding and dust. Also, assuming you are going to paint it, I recommend a good quality primer - at very least over the mud (often moisture from the paint gets into the mud and causes air bubbles in the topcoat of paint. Ben Moore makes a good latex primer (FreshStart) and Zinsser makes the best oil primer I have used (Cover Stain.) Both go on thick, are not overpowering in odor and dry super fast.
